Nice new buzz word(s) Buck: "in-house-outsourcing". Of course I suppose you would prefer: "we don't do that anymore, it's going south on Mingo Road"?Buck said:Smart ones?Checking it Out said:TWU is the Smart ones!!!
They are willing to understand who the compitition is in Maintenance Work!!
You should give them credit, They have allowed you to be a C/C by Hire in date instead of smarts and ambition!!!!!!
It is the mechanic craft and class who have finally realize who the competition is. It is the Industrial unions who cater to the company. Who allow farming out of our work in house just to maintain a dues base. Who sprew a liberal left wing agenda through the collection of those dues.
It is the TWU who has consistantly blocked the attempts of the company to have a C/C board. Do you want the C/C board to become a reality CIO? I am fine with that, as long as we make all of the existing C/C's test and prove their knowledge.
It is your unions system and you dislike it?
How many mechs who were laid off were able and willing to bump into those "in-house-outsourced" jobs. Do you suppose Nordam would fire their own people to hire laid off, highly skilled AA mechs.
Cheer up, you'll get to set union policy at AA soon enough. Not only can 20k mechanics be wrong, but they are only following the example of several million Germans, and lots of American voters. Never under estimate the power of good propaganda. It is easier to tear down than to build up and maintain what you have, in the face of opponents who don't have to do the daily chores but only criticize.
What has AMFA done for overhaul bases lately?
