Is it So Hard for you REATARDS to read my DAMN name. ITS YOU CAN FIX STUPID. You guys are either blind or just stupid. Get it right. I worked hard on coming up with that name. ****.

Oh I am sorry If you want Socialist not original Democrats that stood for working people, running this country, then your call sign, should be YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID.

So if “you can fix stupid” what’s “You Can Fix Stupid’s” excuse, it didn’t take the first time?

Just saw pics of a recent picket at FLL. Only a couple people but doesn’t appear Weez took part.

If Weez goes to FLL it will mean less downtime and bulk loading 738s and Airbus instead of operating K-loader on 777s with lots of down time.

Tim what is the latest on IAM B6? The passenger service agents I talked to at BOS working my flight to SAN acted like IAM is an afterthought and they are excited about the continued growth and Europe flying.

Tim I don't even take you serious. You lifespan's accomplishments are not even enough for me to put you down. You are already there. Hell everyone else is already laughing at you enough on this BB. I will give you a pass. It would be like me messing with the kid that rides the short bus. LMFAO
Hey buy the way are you Married or Divorced. I just want to prove a point.

I love it! Weez is back!

Jetblue in pbi has been briefed by me about how they will all be gone if they voted in the iam. They tied me into FLL and im suppose to go meet with some people there. Overall, if the iam has more than 25% system cards signed they will be lucky.

The iam isnt really trying to organize jetblue or delta because few are listening, but they still have to spend the money to satisfy aflcio constitution.

Probably why SWA dumped the 717s and the 737-300s, maintenance pigs. And yes on the stations I know what you are talking about.

I remember hearing that the engine maint. on the 717's is one of the biggest reasons why we dumped them. 300's were just the overwhelming maint required at their ages and cycles. They are now even retiring a bit early the remaining 700's. Some of these are on hold until the Max issues are ironed out and back into service.

 

[Kev3188]

It's been discussed on here before, but most of the kinks with the 717 engines must've been worked out? I see 717's all day long, and we don't normally have any issues. I know that's anecdotal, but still...

+1
i think he did fix stupid (weez) and thats why he created the handle.
Smart move by weez to go incognito. Being the mule for Samuelson should have got weez off the job but imo Samuelson and Lehive hosed him, and weez is now learning how he got exploited and used like a $20 whore and tossed aside.
At least he still has his ramp job for now.

Who hell cares who somebody votes for, I want us to get a JCBA.
The time is now to get an agreement.
The only thing I care about in politics is that my dues are not being used for one party and we all know that’s been done.
If I want to contribute to a party I will spend my own money .
Now let’s get back to contract talks.
Oh and if it’s true the company does pay attention to this forum,
Get back to the table and get a deal done

Agree.
Now the judge says he will wait another month to do anything. Just another delay from nego's that favors the co. once again.
Wondering if you guys might be voting on something in about 3 months? Like most of you have already stated, the asso. will wggle itself out of a big fine by allowing it to come out for a vote, then, if voted down survey's should be taken then back to the table to fix what is in the surveys from the membership. I don't know but maybe a big fine from the judge is in order to get back to the table sooner???

the company is tightening its grip. The permanent injunction will happen but I think a fine would come later, right?
I didnt read where the company asked the judge to fine them yet, right?
It seems to me that the union is bitter, so any fine would be appealed. The members of this union are stupid so the union loses nothing by further delay.

Tough lesson for anyone to learn. I hope he lands on his feet.

That's because Delta put the BR715 through their excellent engine shop, and actually fixed the engines.Airtran from what I understand didn't want to pay Rolls Royce in Canada to fix them right.

 

[Tim Nelson]

WOW. If the union didn't already drive its own nail into its coffin, the latest IAM 141 newsletter will.

"At American Airlines, the Machinists Union allied with the TWU to prevent the outsourcing of work to overseas vendors. That fight has become so heated that a federal judge warned the unions to take it a little easier on the beleaguered airline, who has seen its stock prices sag over the issue."

I'm sure the misrepresentation of what the Judge ordered will piss off the Judge. Using the word "Heat" in reference to Long hot summer can't be good.

Game Over!

Bad!

 

[Tim Nelson]

sad how the union claimed the heat
