You don't think offsetting the increase in your medical by becoming a dues objector isnt an interesting idea?

iAdmittedly 5'9" isnt tall but its great for stcking bags.

This is true (I'm 5'9" on a good day).

Also: Tall people are shady AF.

TWU is not only larger by jobs than LUS by volume but I believe overall and Kev can confirm this if he wishes to be forthright, AA Ramp by job numbers is significantly larger than Delta. Currently we have around 18,000 Mainline Ramp Agents and not one of them is a Ready Reserve.

It varies. Over the last few years, I've heard numbers between 12-15k all in. I'm not sure how many total are benefitted vs. Ready Reserve; we don't have access to a System Seniority List, and so you have to add everything up by station.

TWU at SWA has not “whipsawed” for 2 reasons. # 1 SWA has never been in financial distress that they have looked to outsource work or could really get away with it. # 2 I don’t believe SWA has ever wanted to outsource work because of enjoying “quality control” keeping it all in house.

They outsource some now (many former AirTran cities, and new points).

We were a 2057 you were at 21 something how was LUS the only ones to benefit from the merger I know you don't say it but 10,000 other people do

Because people are both Sheep and Parrots. The problem is half the time they listen to an follow idiots.

“Think about how stupid the average person is and remember half of them are stupider than that”

Not really no only time I ever considered that was when the local was pushing us to support an NC politician who anyone with a brain knew was crooked and going to jail.
He later did and may still be there, but that didn’t stop the local guys from pushing the hell out of him.
I don’t want the union or anybody for that matter telling me who to vote for

Endorsements are okay, but they need to actually reflect what the masses want. Defaulting to a “safe” pick is lazy, and is a big reason why so many people share your view.

So how do you quantify 770 to 20? Is that going for the safe pick or Devine intervention?

770 to 20...... WOW.

Well I guess everyone has a reason.Most unions aren't going to endorse my.past choices

Weez,weez and weez for the last time an IAM election is as honest as a harness race

 

[cltrat]

I suspect that’s a fair statement across the union landscape with 6 figure salaries are involved
