Well, lets see. Working both the line and hangar for over 20 years and before that doing inspections and such on our family 172 since I was about 8, working overhaul on props for years at the local airport probably gives me a little more experience than someone like you.

I see, since it seems that I might have misunderstood, you are calling TUL work shoddy at best?
I hate to be the bearer, but I hear that about aircraft that come into TUL. OH can only repair so many deferrals and get the check out on time......
My point is we killed the profession. We put SRPs in place in 1995, through system attrition, our peers held out and six years later 9-11 happened and the airlines used it, and BK to attack their workers. There was no way any carrier could implement an ohm program when the carriers are shrinking. If we all had stayed the same there would have been no need for any carrier to try to meet our lower costs by outsourcing.
By the way, the top four carriers control 70% of the market. That's an oligopoly.
Neither is AA, they just filed to reorganize under the code. They filed with $4 billion in cash and $24 billion in revenue.

The slaying of the professionan at AA started before the SRP. It started with Deregulation and for AA it was the 1983 contract that allowed the B-scale.

<_< ------- Duke, whatever you feel about the TWA deal really doesn't have any bearing on what I was referring to. It is what it is!----- What I was referring to was the fact that for years now the exTWAers have been a nice cushion between the nAAtives, and the street. Now that has changed, because frankly, there aren't that many of them still around. And as time goes by, their numbers will be even less! You'll, for the most part, be looking to go out the door yourselfs! You know the old saying,"what goes around, comes around"?----- Well guess what? --------"Who said life was fair?"

<_< ------ O.K.! Tell that to the Judge! I don't think you realize what your up against!----- But that will change!
And $25 billion plus in expenses (this year) and over $29 billion in debts, liabilities and other obligations. AMR looks bankrupt to most of us, but I realize that working on the inside gives you a special perspective not available to anyone not employed by the company.
Hell, he probably couldn't pass the LSAT.
Gotta agree with this one. I have nothing but high praise for the ex-TWAers I have the pleasure of working with.
snakey, I hope that you have a lot of seniority.
Because if you don't, soon you won't have a spot to hiss in!!!
I have an idea.... Why don't you worry about you, and I'll worry about me? I'll be fine thanks!

So confident. Did you get an appointment to International TWU and avoid living under this 6 year agreement?
