Ask the TWU that question too, because we have no strike fund either. :blush:

No you're stupid...When a company in this case NWA gives you a contract to vote on that eliminates 53% of your workgroup and a 25% cut in pay for the rest I think its pretty clear it is not going to pass the membership vote. I had 17 years at that time and I was in the 53% who was going to get kicked to the curb do you really think I was going to vote yes on that contract?..It was by design NW had spent millions and 2 yrs recruting scabs and making the proper payoffs to govenment to help this plan fall into place. AMFA was too militant for NWA unlike the lapdog IAm who could not bring back a decent contract in the best of times in aviation which is why they got kicked to the curb..Although I make 6 figures now thanks to working for a great company and our 2001 AMFA contract that we had at NWA that raised the bar for the entire industry. Now a race to the bottom again thanks to the IAm and TWu. If it were not for AMFA in 2001 mechanics today would be lucky if they made 30 dollars an hour.

Great post, Go AMFA!
This from a person who lived it and stills supports AMFA to this day I have said countless times to those who say what did AMFA ever do, just look at your Paycheck you should tell this Man thank you for what you have in your pocket, but all the stooges can do is say AMFA failed. they cannot even see how they benefited from what was done!! A BUNCH OF FOOL'S. JUST A BUNCH OF FOOL'S

I can answer that.
You strike when the company is demanding that over half of your membership hit the streets without jobs, and you have exhausted all other options.
Learn the truth and NWA vs AMFA and get back with us on your alternate plan.
I am waiting to hear your plan any time.
So after all said and done. You have to let your family know, you tried but it didn't work. How long was the union there to help? There had to be a plan? I mean you don't go into battle witout a clear strategy. This is something these AA tech should know. Since you are asking them to change unions with a bankrupt airline that wants concessions from them.
Who told you to post that?

As I watch the Aircraft Mechanic's of this industry fight each other over union representation, exhibiting fear of change, the inability to get on the same page, while being divided by the promises of greed loving industrial unions that believe they have the power to use their money to dictate to us who will represent us the industry. Meanwhile the clear choice and only chance for control of our own destiny is obtaining a mechanic's only craft union. And while there is ONLY ONE MECHANIC'S UNION, the industrial unions infuse negative thoughts about that idea and many follow that infusion and spread it around as if the negatives are the gospel instead of the campaign tool designed to influence opinion.
When I step back for a minute and watch in amazement, I can't help but think if we continue to battle amongst ourselves then we deserve to have this tune designated as our official theme song.

In other words, we either ALL get into one union, or we will forever be divided and conquered.

Ironic that you choose to chide another on professionalism, when you claim to be an AMFA member yet post ignorant/UNprofessional statements like this...
