we need to keep catering.

i think the express work is more important and employs more people and could be expanded

 

[Tim Nelson]

happy labor day and enjoy your wonderful holiday pay to the 30% of us, including me.
Hopefully, the twu leaders and weesles will keep supporting our issues and the can be kicked another 3 years. Special shout out to weesles for betraying his very own local because his local prez called out weezles BS.

Happy Labor Day and a special shout out to Tim Nelson as he continues to enjoy his 40% chopped IAM Pension that as he says will soon have to give him probably another 40% chop I suppose leaving him having to work till he’s 70 years old with no REAL Pension. So sad.

Oh and he’s currently losing the poll to be kicked off that FB Group page by 37 votes. Happy sailing Tim.

Weez do you think Sito comes on here and reads this thread? I’m pretty sure 700 does...

They just put out the new Jetnet proposal.
(Watch all the schmucks go running)

if 50% of the assoc. plus 1 of the exec. committee fears twu voters not caring about lus/iam insurance, then; the assoc. needs to file for sec 6 as quickly as possible to avoid any more company videos/'enhanced'-sweetened proposals and ensuing pressure from twu members to vote on anything the company throws out there.

keeping the status quo for another 2-3 years will make many of the iam big-shooters, shoo-ins at election time. it's the smart thing to do, from their angle. no need to tell me it's 'our' angle.

In the meantime, I tracked down the Flying Spaghetti Monster and the Blue Fairy that sits at the bottom of the garden. One of these culprits told Mr Peterson about the fairy tale involving Isom. Which one, I don't know?

Tim I never knew that you were an Atheist. Good for you man.

Pastafarian Prayer


Our pasta, who art in a colander, draining be your noodles. Thy noodle come, Thy sauce be yum, on top some grated Parmesan. Give us this day, our garlic bread, …and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trample on our lawns. And lead us not into vegetarianism, but deliver us some pizza, for thine is the meatball, the noodle, and the sauce, forever and ever. R’amen.

I do not like them.My fear is they will continue to brainwash you, never securing a contract because the goal post is constantly being moved, an then driving the bus off a cliff . Leaving another path of destruction in their wake. If that is AMFAcosis more power to you.

After being in the twu the union of yes to pay and benefit cuts without snap back. United mechanics took 5 are 6 years also. The point being where AMFA may be in long negotiations it takes 2 to come to a agreement company and union. But AMFA keeps you updated with facts . Look at the association updates there a joke. As a member I deserve the truth and both proposals. AMFA gives you that.

AANOTOK,
In many stations we do express flights but my fear is that the company would act on outsourcing of that work.

Obviously, it makes sense to lock that work in via Scope language, but at the same it doesn't make much bu$ine$$ sense for the company to add another layer of costs to a station (especially field stations). They already have extant staff/facilities; working Express flights just offsets fixed costs and boosts productivity for labor. We might not like that, but finance people sure do...

Let's just be honest here 777. The only reason for AMFA success at SWA. Is because SWA never went bankrupt. If we ever go bankrupt, with our small numbers, the C checks would probably be gone. We would be a line maintenance only, with the hangars for out of service Aircraft.

What makes it worse is that catering would have been absorbed.Paying someone 70k to pack liquor kits

Al is catering desirable because it has lots of downtime between flights and is less physically strenuous than bulk loading in the bin? Sorta like how someone like Weez gets lots of downtime between widebody departures and his work isn’t physically strenuous operating a K-Loader.

southwest was always vulnerable in a sense, due to having one type of aircraft. if the faa ever grounded the 737..

well, recently, we had the fan blade issue and unlike the 787...the faa did what? if that's the case, you guys can sleep well.

nothing against southwest, it's AMTs, etc...but i do believe it would take 8 737s crashing in a week to get the faa to financially cripple and compel a major airline to file for bk.

corporatism.

Where are you getting those stats from?When was the last time you got a $50 bonus in your check?No operationly we are not doing so good.

how can that be? we have 3-4 supervisors in my work area...when the old aa, late 80's-early to late 90's aa, had 1 supervisor..and he also did everyone's attendance. 3-4 supervisors and the scams, burned bags and operational hiccups are increasing.

wall street knows. thank Christ most of us will be long gone when all this catches up to the 'new aa'.

delta has rules and accountability, ua is making that turn and seems to be moving up from 3rd to 2nd, while aa is run from a tree-house down the block.

They're only concerned about how many mechanics we have.
