Wow. Just wow. Your post is full of mispellings and I'm full of misgivings! When I said you made little or no sense I was referring to several of your posts that were so incoherent that I had no idea what you were talking about. I quoted them and responded with statements that were as ridiculous as your posts. You probably thought I was quoting Shakespere. Well at least here I was able to discern some of your point through all the jabberwocky. As misguided as your point of view is. Lucky to have a job indeed. In your case however I think that statement could not be more true. Also I'm not an AMT so I am not trying to dump the twu. There are too many guys like you that agree with the (ongoing) givebacks in Fleet. Guys like you send the message loud and clear that you will give anything to keep your job. The twu is the perfect union for you. Keep up the good work and ligit overtime skippy.

That does not make him special. TWU is plagued with incompetent people that could not hold a job outside of a UNION.Zom JFK said:

And the sun goes down on the coconut tree. Restart to Fleet Service issues. Anyone following the announced 2015 bloodletting and outsourcing of represented jobs at UA? 28 more stations to be outsourced by May of 2015. Contractually allowed to happen with no part time cap. What was the International, District Leadership, NC and membership thinking when they agreed to such terms?

The international was obviously thinking they would have a larger pool of employees to collect dues from. Who cares if they can make a living or have benefits. They can PAY to work..... that is the important thing. Isn't it?ograc said:
The membership obviously were victims of UNION fear propaganda.

I don't know if you are native AA or not robbed but if you are I would not be so uppity after the contracts/concessions AA/TWU has sold the membership since 9/11.robbedagain said:

Robbed lest we should ever forget. One contract was negotiated as concessionary at the threat of a BK gun and the next was concessionary by the trigger being pulled on that gun.
I don't think anyone would be too happy being FORCED to go backwards.
From what I hear thru the grapevine, some stations have been having second meetings at WHQ in Chicago. All will know their fate by this weekend. More than likely all will be gone. No one is going to take pay and benefit cuts.ograc said:
This was going to happen anyway. Tier 3 and smaller Tier 2 was going to be on the block anyway. Especially those who exclusively had Express ops. IMHO, I couldn't see a way to keep these in the fold. Plus we don't have our own outsourcing company like DGS or Eagle/Envoy. That works against us as well. The problem was stations like ATL; IND; SAT which had a significant amount of mainline ops. Why they couldn't be folded into Large Tier 2, is a mystery to me. Especially SAT. Also, many of knew about giving up the PT caps, and the company followed up by the massive downgrades (people bought the lie of LOA#5). Now in my hub, we are dangerously short of compliment, and running a manpower system that cannot work because the lack of FT people.
Those stations will be gone. Gone to the lowest bidder. Just like our Cargo (which was just fined 1.3 mil.) People will either take furlough; take the system; or an enhanced Early Out (depending on what they offer). I don't see a massive bump though.
It was about the money...............
