These forums continue to show that the AMT's of this industry need to unite into one single union. If we are going to constantly be compared to others by management and amongst ourselves, then getting ourselves into one single is the best solution.
Continuation of debating the symptoms of the problem serves no purpose.
Time to solve the problem and eliminate the symptoms of the problem.
Are we really so ignorant that we are just happy to say as long as we suck but just not as bad as others in certain areas of concern, then we are satisified?
Pardon me but that is rather stupid of us all.

What your handy little survey fails to break down is how many people listed under the heading "maintenance personnel" are actually AMTs! See when you have bean counters, and back office types doing surveys such as this, they tend to leave out critical nuances such as this. The number of "maintenance personnel" listed at AA - in your survey - is damn near twice the amount of AMTs working at AA. I am sure the same holds true when running the numbers on the US Air side as well. I have seen the US Air convoluted senority list, for the "maintenance and related". Are you gonna try and tell us that every person on that list is an A&P?
As Bob has also pointed out, you can't even compare the complexity of AAs maintenance system to SWA. SWA doesn't fly wide bodies of multiple types, they barely fly international - so limited ETOPS. Hell - last time I checked, they didn't even have an LMP program. Do you even have a concept of what the hell you're talking about?
The system wide Title 1 seniority list for AA has a little over 7600. 700 only missed it by almost 3400. Isn't it ironic that people who have no dog in the fight and post inaccurate information say things like "Don't let the facts get in the way."? This is why I put this guy on ignore.

You still don't get it. It's also up to the company to decide if they want to lay off personnel. Your argument is " line maintenance needs to accept less pay and benefits in order to subsidize headcount in overhaul." Did I get that right? Why should the burden be put on line maintenace entirely? I'm not getting any kind of tax break for my charatable contribution via reduced wages and benefits. I'm willing to bet most line AMTs are not gonna bite on the headcount guilt trip again - I never have.
