The average age at Tulsa is about 50-52. There some past 65. My $50 an hour was a sarcastic way ofchilokie1 said:Exactly ! How many guys in Tulsa/TASEL are nearing or above 55? I'am guessing 75%.
What good is $50 an hour if you are laid off? With the IAMPF I will be forced to use my
bumping rights (and thousands of guys like me) and a lot of junior guys who voted for
the big bucks will be out the door. With the AA plan it gives me the option to leave the
company without the restriction of not being able to work and draw my pension at the
same time.
explaining the from the 1983 contract at AA/TWU the TWU has agreed to a method of cutting the throat of the unborn, that is to set those not yet employeed for a contract that is less than disrable. Then those senior mechanic who need money and or benefits has a path to retire. If you are of AA/TWU it was referred to the "B-Scale" and this method of cutthroat unionism has been happening since the 1983 CBA, at least.
