I was listening to an AFW guy who said he voted no on every contract including the 2001 contract, then he started complaining about not having enough money because of not getting a 6 day his last weekend. He has a truck, mortgage and commuter pad payment all due at same time.

So I dutifully made fun of him for turning down every pay raise offered to him. Then started insulting him for voting down one station agreement with DFW in fear of losing weekends off for a year.

The question is, did AFW or DFW vote down the one station agreement, because like everything involving the TWU nobody remembers for sure, or is lieing so they don’t look like a bunch of morons.

Id like to see you guys wrap this up in the next 2 years please And get a large compensation increase so the company im at will have to match it. UA. And by the way does anyone know what the Delta mechs top out is now? I would ask on their forum but we all know nobody will respond there. Thanks

Two years, thats very optimistic with the association. When the iam wants a contract we will get one not before. Because they own the twu.

The one station agreement was tabled by afw. Matt lorenzi the vice president of local 567 talked the membership out of it. I wonder where you are i know of one person in 2001 that was critical of the agreement. Guy was a knuckle head and pretty much useless. Cant imagine he has improved.

In November the FAs will be like the Pilots where they can fly on both LUS and LAA planes so all the flight crews are integrated but they are preparing for the second contract, the mechs gave the company cross utilization and we got a pay raise but our union dues went up also.

I wonder if the association will be put on the back burner with AA while the APA and APFA get the priority.

Not surprised this AFW guy not informed.

Surprisingly there are quite a few guys who vote no for everything and wear it as a badge of honor. When you ask them what they would vote for. 100% scope 100% medical etc



They have the mind of a spoiled child.

A very strong possibility since the companies main objective was met without a JCBA. That objective was the Cross Utilization. You can say mission accomplished. We are now floating in the confines of the black hole of negotiations.

Wouldn't surprise me at all with this asso. Just another way for the company to drag things along.

So very true. The raise was only to increase the dues coming into the asso's. (yes plural) but they used that to get the leverage (cross utilization) out of there.

Until the merger with aa the pilots were east and west they never got a contract together. So We might be sol

You might need to get your facts straight. AFW voted every contract down except the 9/11 contract. This AFW guy you speak of is an anomaly.

My facts are straight, I said AFW guy and he. Singular. And that there are a lot of guys with the same numb thinking process of voting NO for everything no matter what.

Big jets feel sorry for you guys. I swear it feels like we will never get a raise. But that's the hand we are delt, when people do not think and vote in anger.
