Look out Swampy better call Megatron. I guarantee if AMFA files a lawsuit on ETOPS SWA will file a lawsuit on AMFA for the spike in outservice aircraft. My ALR came to our station today with management to say don't do anything illegal, second time we have seen him this week.

Rogallo they are as affective getting a contract as your Association is bringing you one, is that fair?

Wanted to come back to this this morning (Enjoying my Morning Coffee watching Bloomberg News)
Of course “partially” those two entities never came into being at AA because you have “And Related” groups who have absolutely zero interest in being in a Union that essentially advertises itself as a primarily AMT supporting Union. So that’s “part” of it. TUL also never showed much interest either.
And AMP never got off the drawing board on either occasion. But I suspect how quickly it was abandoned the first time has much to do with why no one showed it any interest this time.
Is this really a serious question? Why in the World would you think the TWU (Or any Union for that matter) would not defend their turf?
If someone tried to break into your House would you just let them in? Or?
Buck it has EVERYTHING to do with AA A&P Mechanics now because ALL of those people are today also AA A&P Mechanics.
You can’t (Even though you want to) separate all these people out and cherry pick your own team.
There are 12,450 Mechanics (All in) at American Airlines. And that’s the Team you belong to.
Hell yeah that's fair cause we've already determined they both suck, haven't we?
Which one would you say sucks the least?
And would you trade your craft union for our association?
Simple questions right Weezie?

Wow, another famous Weezie analogy from left field.
Comparing a union defending it's turf to breaking into someones home. You sure can come up with some doozies!

An Association no, an Industrial union like the Teamsters, yes.
How 'bout the TWU?

I would take the TWU over the IAM.

I would absolutely expect that if the TWU (People) launched a Card Drive against AMFA (People) wherever AMFA (Or anyone else for that matter) already held Representation that there would/should be one hell of a good battle.
Did you ever really think it would have been easy peasy?

If SWA had gone bankrupt, AMFA wouldn't have any better contract than the TWU. Where TWU or Teamsters, or IAM could win, is the time it takes to negotiate a contract vs AMFA with a healthy company that constantly makes money.
I will never strike for this or any union. You can do more damage going to work and parking aircraft by doing your job. Ask some old timers at US Airways how the strike helped them. They had some fellow workers cross the picket line. When the strike was over those who crossed kept their jobs. The IAM is the only union to have retro give back!
