Aircraft maint issues

[MetalMover]

Do you want to divulge what those Mechanics got in return back then to give up that work?

Isn’t it pretty similar to what the Company is offering today?

Lots of Money.

It's called market rate. We're just getting what our peers are getting.

It's called market rate. We're just getting what our peers are getting.

And just like those guys in the past you’re ready to cut the throat of those in the future who want to get on to get what you feel you deserve now.

I just cannot for the life of me understand how you feel you can criticize people from the past who did things you couldn’t stand and yet want to do the same exact thing today?

Metal you can’t tell me that you’re missing the hypocrisy of this.

Don’t put down the past when you are no different than they were.

 

[MetalMover]

Your peers don’t do the same amount of work. AA does more in-house maintenance than UA, DL, and WN.

Right, and the company wants to do what the others are doing.
The ASSociation wants what their peers have in a one way deal.

You know why WeAAz.....It's gonna happen one way or another.
Just being realistic here. I don't live in fantasyland.
And since everyone is so concerned the company is lying, then can very well give us everything we want...The headcount reduction happens anyway.
But hey, like you said, your tombstone will say you died trying.

 

[MetalMover]

You always let the company do what they want?

When did you let the make you a Eunuch?

Sad you are a sellout.

Where the F@@@ did I say I want what the company wants?
I'm just being realistic.
You can keep dreaming if you like.

 

[MetalMover]

Wow a defeatist coward. You’d be a deserter in the military.

Truly sad.

What's sad is you guys believe your ASSociation is the most honest and forthright entity.
Go walk those protest lines where the flying public could give a rat's ass about us.
I've been there and done that. And guess what? We are we are today because the airlines have gotten what they wanted....ONE WAY OR ANOTHER...
And you think because we have an ASSoication we are going to beat them at their own game?

Sad, truly sad.

 

[MetalMover]

We would all be slaves and indentured servitude if we were cowards like you. Truly sad you are a Eunuch. You are a traitor to the American Worker and the Union movement. Are you a native New Yorker? If you are you certainly don’t act like one. Bob Owens need to educate you.

And you look like, well, not a real man?

 

[MetalMover]

Never said that coward, how does it feel to live your life in fear and on your knees?

You're the one who wears knee pads, not me.

 

[WeAAsles]

You know why WeAAz.....It's gonna happen one way or another.

So you think they’re going to get EVERYTHING they want then?

If that’s the case then why do they still have thousands of $30 plus an hour Baggage Handlers on payroll?

Do you think that’s something they really want?

Just being realistic here. I don't live in fantasyland.
And since everyone is so concerned the company is lying, then can very well give us everything we want...The headcount reduction happens anyway.
But hey, like you said, your tombstone will say you died trying.

Who has said and where did they say it that we were going to get everything?

I never said we’re going to get everything we want. Everything we want was in the proposal given to the Company in December 2015.

That’s absolutely not happening.

Have a good night. Keep up the good fight.
If we ever get to strike...I'll walk the line if not retired by then. But Samuelsen and the others will still get paid.

Sad, truly sad.

They have not gotten EVERYTHING they wanted. Not by a long shot.

 

[WeAAsles]

Gave a good night. Keep up the good fight.
If we ever get to strike...I'll walk the line if not retired by then. But Samuelsen and the others will still get paid.

We won’t get to Strike so you won’t even have to worry about it.

And Samuelsen has gone on Strike and walked that picket line.

Ken, your new profile here says you're 48 years old yet I know you are 60. No need to fib, you look great. Unless...

 

[Kev3188]

You should go work at a non-union airline you seem perfect to be CULTured at Delta, Eunuch.

He totally should; in the last few years, we've opened (or reopened) several line stations, built up our MRO business, and just opened a pretty badass test cell.

 

[B737 driver]

BTW driver I watched you get attacked mercilessly for your opinion which you had every right to have. And now I read you over there on YOUR thread kissing the very asses of the guys who had ZERO respect for what you wanted and what you thought.

I actually “had” respect for you too.

I guess it’s easier to be a follower than a leader huh?

No it is easier to realize only 20% wanted a change, and the other 80% , were perfectly happy with AMFA representation. And when they had ex Northwest management , I thought this end like Northwest, and it didn't. So time to move on. So if it takes 5 to 6 years to get a deal everytime I need to relax and quit acting like a dipshit, and let the union do it's job. So with 17 years to go in my career , I should see 2.5 contracts.
