Aircraft maint issues

[B737 driver]

So now you’re joining the chorus of spreading BS too? If I’m gaining the biggest piece of the pie then WHY am I making $40,000 per year TOS less than that smaller group?

Sad to see that you have become swamt part deux.

No Weeezz I like you, but let's face it even if you have different contracts, when it comes to elections for union officers in your local, and international officers, ramp, C.S will always outvote maintenance.

How cool if the company afford LAA mechs x2 pay, like the pilots and LUS mechs. I guess we don’t offer much to the success of AA as the other employees.

Don't feel bad, our last pilots contract, they had pilots that got back pay that were no longer with the company!

Ok you really don’t know how things work in the TWU at all.

Our Locals for Fleet and Maintenance are separate. TWU Local 591 is all Mechanics. My Local here in MIA 568 is all Fleet. I don’t get a vote for Local 591 only 568.

I think reading some of the angry bird posters on here has seriously confused you?

Now International Officers are elected by Delegates. If you understand the US Elections system it’s pretty much the same thing. Our AA Ramp Local 513 in DFW would have the most delegates because they have the most Clerks.

Now Local 100 Bus and Rail in NYC gets the most Delegates because they have more members than anyone else TWU Represents. I think the group that comes in second might be Southwest Airlines Flight Attendants?

Going down the line (Yep need to rid ourselves of the Industrial Union I know) you have all sorts of other groups including Vegas card dealers, NASA Firefighters and NYC Bike share ride Members. And they all get a portion of delegates depending on there size.

I said to hog the other day that the problem I see with AMT’s is the fragmentation. AMFA, IBT, IAM , TWU, No Union. Then you switch Unions left and right and threaten what’s left with constant card drives. They say in the Unions that it’s the FA’s who are “difficult” Uh nah, lol.

Sorry no offense brother, thinking back to my Teamsters days.

I’m not offended. But I would rather you understand the reality over the fiction sold on here too often.

Line Hangar PHL.

You are a poser. What certifications do you hold?

You know Weezz I think the real deal with the mechanics is they feel lied to, by the Association and want to be on their own ; thinking it would be better. Only time will tell if they can make that happen, but if it does that will be the path that they choose.

Yes you hit the head on the nail. Were tired of losing benefits and the other twu groups get more. Like our sick time half days pay each occurrence. We lost a week of vacation stores got another week. Weez is such a amt hater that he can’t understand how we feel. He lets the facts get in his way. If his group was getting cut all the time maybe he wouldn’t be a twu troll

Poser- Similar to Stolen Valor in the military?

The reality (Off Forums) is that even though no “many” Mechanics did not like the BS that formed the Association they do like the fact (very much) that they’re making more money than they were prior to the wage agreement. They also like the fact that they are witnessing the TWU fighting for them during these negotiations. They are of course frustrated by progress that this is not finished yet but in the ORD Maintenance Roadshow all that frustration was directed at Robert Isom and the Company not the TWU.

“Only time will tell”? Stop it now with the new ridiculousness driver. The group you now seem to like again (5 years) has nothing it can sell and the Majority (By far) at AA are well aware of it.

If these posters here were honest with you they would tell you that there is both no card drive and no drive by any other Union to have one either.

Except this guy driver. And he has a few issues both educationally and emotionally.

Jim Little absolutely 100% lied to you (all of us) about the Association vote.

100%

Another reason he’s gone along with his hand picked successor.

The IAM never said there would be an election.
