Iam Heading To Arbitration

I wished I shared your optimism Clue. Unfortunately, though arbitrators are supposed to be "fair, impartial and neutral" it isn't so or doesn't appear to be. "fair, impartial and neutral" usually is defined 85/15% tilt toward management side.ClueByFour said:
Itrade...you speak yet you know not...or not all anyway.
Half of the planes are there...and tooling is being sent from PIT and CLT on a near daily basis. BTW....Fred Smith and FedEx appreciate the business too. It's been a fortune already.
The parts are certainly not there in sufficient numbers either. We are shipping stuff south at premium prices. Another fine example of how stupid U can be. We empty our shelves in PIT and CLT to send it south , then we have nothing to work with regarding our line Acft or drop-in maintenance tha creep up daily.
U should be having the stuff "Drop-Shipped" direct from the vendors , instead of paying freight charges twice and wasting valuable and short staffed laboring time in the distribution centers. UPS motto...handle it only one time
You people have no clue as to whats taking place..and the vast amounts of money being wasted to do it. This confirms to me that no matter how few will remain at U? or how little they attempt to pay us? This company is going to fall victim to it's own beancounting stupidity , regardless of what the employees do or don't do to help them?

I agree! When the Company is required to pay for the work twice,
then maybe they will get it thru there heads that in our contract, the work is clearly ours!
Does anyone really question why the IAM hasn't showed up for the big group hug with upper managment. It appears the few clowns running this company need to be B^tch slapped!
I only wonder if the company will still be in business when this is all settled.

Personally I don't care how much of member dues the IAM uses to fight this battle. If you are a employee, you should be more concerned with how much of your concession money has gone into managements arrogant attempt to rewrite the IAM C.B.A.
US Airways has taken airplanes out of service rather than having their own employees perform their maintenance, and the cost to the airline has been astronomical.
Tooling and parts being shipped out to support aircraft in ALA. and Ariz. have left us with very few options when trying to return a aircraft back to sevice from maintenance.
With so many aircraft being parked, many times the only option is cancellation of the flight or a ship change, both of which come at no small inconvenience to pax not to mention cost to your airline.

I have nothing else to give and I would not want to work here for one dime less. Close it up. [/quote]
My sentiments exactly. Why would a clear thinking employee who knows and believes further givebacks will only sponsor a buy out, merger or whatever, doing nothing for the employee. Let it die in peace. I will not vote for another penny no matter the outcome, and thank the good Lord above most of my fellow mechanics feel exactly the same way, unlike the pilots and their pipe dream of some fantasy utopia that ALPA is drinking hoping they are immune to the arsenic drink.
