IT'S TIME FOR NAME THAT FAMOUS TWU QUOTE

[Real tired]

IAM ALERT:
 
The best all time quote, and the TWU has nothing this good, is....................
 
"You are confused.  You must re-vote."
 
That goes along with that infamous letter to all the wives, "Dear Mrs So and So, Your husband is so confused.............."

 

[Zom JFK]

Their lawyers are on the courthouse steps ready to file if we say no.........

I remember this line worked so well it was truly sickening.

If you vote down this bankruptcy contract it will only get worse.

Pilots voted down there's now they have 13% contribution to their 401k. FAs get 9.9% contribution. The TWU gets a 5.5% MATCH.

Rogallo,
It's a real quote.
 
"Our legal firm is already preparing for legal action."
 
OV Delle Femine - September 2004 right after Alaska Airlines shuttered the OAK overhaul facility and laid off all the AMTs. AMFA was going to make everyone's job better after throwing at the IBT. AMFA was half right, they made the pay better for all the line AMTs at AS.
 
Promise fulfilled

MCI AFW SNA DTW MSP CLE etc etc, closed under the TWU how many mechs have been laidoff under TWU? How many OSMs ? In 2004 we were already a year into the mother of all concessions which lead to bankruptcy anyway.

Don't ruin a good thread with your non sense.

"We had to accept it or let the judge do it. This was the lesser of two evils."

And we would have a new contract by now like delta and UAL instead looking forward to 5 MORE years of this.

Using quotes as an excuse without a solution is indeed criminal, weak, insane, and more of the same.
 
The difference between O. V. Delle-Femine and the others is what?
 
O.V. continuously advocated as a solution that ALL AMT's in the industry get into ONE CRAFT UNION. (i.e. CHANGE)
 
Everyone else uses the quotes as justification for failure without offering any solutions beyond repeating what has already been tried and failed.
 
The ultimate quote for our demise:
 
"Repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different results is the definition of insanity"

Nice try at diversion. Maybe you are willing to give the TWU a pass for failing to properly represent ALL the membership, but many of us are not. 
C'mon, overspeed, tell us your favorite TWU quote!

Dave I have a solution...don't go with AMFA. Losing 80% of your membership's jobs in less than five years is not winning even if you use Charlie Sheen's version of winning. And your quote, "Repeating the same mistakes and expecting a different results is the definition of insanity," is perfect. All those AMTs that keep thinking the next time AMFA gets a major carrier they will be on top is definitely insanity.
 
bigjets,
It's a simple fact that when a company shrinks so does it's workforce. Closing all those stations and bases makes sense when the airline shrank. Did NW shrink when it closed all of its line and base locations except for DTW and MSP? Barely. Did AS shrink when it closed it's overhaul base in OAK? No in fact they have been wildly profitable and growing. Did UA shrink when it shipped all but three lines of it's airframe overhaul out? Yes a little but nowhere near what was necessary. Blame whomever you want and join AMFA...Dougie will love you for it.
 
And DL isn't union so which contract are you referring too? UA is still negotiating with the IBT.
