Thats right, your just a ramper, and I'm just a AMT. My comments are directed at the nosey nonsensical clowns in our business. Stop the sniveling, the tears are corroding my screen. I've got nothing personal against rampers, stock clerks or even garbage men. We are all wage slaves who are looked down upon by the elite, (yes both democrats and republicans) to be screwed at the will of those in power. We are not in the club, they don't give a sh*t if we live or die, preferably the later. Just a number. Or as Dougie Steenland at NWA put it: "People should learn their place in society". I get it, and have for nearly 35 years in this trade and others.
The problems arise when those certain individuals involve themselves in others careers, those who shouldn't have a public bias and/or base negative opinions about that which does not concern them or the career individuals have chosen. They want to tell you in no uncertain terms ad nauseum, the unwanted and unsolicited opinions of your chosen representation or desired future organization there of. To some of these disturbed paid Industrial Union clones, its very much like being in a religious cult. Your NOT ALLOWED to leave the cult without extreme distress and ridicule, yes you....the elitist. Very much like Aspostasy. The renunciation and criticism of, or opposition to, a persons former religion. Except the big difference is, the union is just a well paid representative, much like a attorney. Its not a cult, and not a religion, but it really is with the TWu/IAm/IBt. Not performing as they are paid to do? Won't change to satisfy the members needs? Corrupt and inept? FIRE AT WILL!!! Get a new representative. But that's not allowed.
Well, I beg to differ.
This not withstanding, as many have said here and including myself. I don't try to tell pilots, flight attendants, dispatchers, or stock clerks and rampers what their chosen representative should be, will be, or cannot be. I don't care!!!! I don't have a say in the craft and class and I won't be voting in the election for the aforementioned groups . It's a damn decision I won't be making.
So why is it, that rampers and stock clerks Give a Rats A$$ who the AMTs choose? Baffling to say the least.
