Told ya weez, don't poop in their front lawn or you will be promptly dispatched. And from here, you got a beating.

Doesn't matter. This is all that matters period.

I guess we can't have a thread where we can discuss our issues without having guys come in here with no dog in the fight stir up the crap. Some guys that are Fleet (Like my friend AANOTOK) come here and offer constructive information. All we ask is that you respect our issues. No pushing the company crap.

 

[Real tired]

Go refute yourself Fredo. Post what ever you want to make yourself the TWU suck ass legend in your own mind. I gave up on this asinine forum years ago, just thought I would stir up some shite to show how easily you can be toyed with. Carry on Fredo.

I remember your posts from years ago. Back when "Lavman" was here.

Don't give up. Stay.

We'll need your tenacity going forward.

Yep, real teenacity would be correct. (I know where I probably got my "disagree" from.

Actually Weez these guys are a good bunch yes they need to be brought down to earth now and then, but nobody likes to be told the truth over and over. I don't like to be told I'm bald and at 57 on the back nine. My concern is with my good friends the Coneheads. The company is studying Avionics and has come to the conclusion that the job has the same degree of difficulty as putting together a gas grill and may not require an AMT.Further the company observed a couple of coneys hitting some very expensive components with a ball peen hammer to make them work on another occasion one of our forum members was trying to modify an Airbus part to fit a Boeing kind of like putting a tachometer on a steering column of an old hot rod

I guess if it so easy then you are in the process of getting your A&P or FCC? I would like to point out that you are not qualified to do that job so your opinion on what that job entails or the skill level of those who do it are not needed or wanted.

Old guy I don't have the skill to put one foot in front of the other that's not my point.I'l admit it, I'm absolutely useless My point is they are trying to do away with these avionics jobs. Rumor is they want to contract a lot of these jobs out to Radio Shack or how would you like to see the Geek Squad pull up to a plane while your changing a tire

I do have an FCC license I got it when CBs were big years ago. Breaker one nine

I have a novel idea for America West to save money:
America West has all these super smart Fleet Service Clerks wasting their aircraft maintenance talents loading bags. Therefore, America West should get rid of all its AMTs and use Fleet Service Clerks instead. Since everyone knows all there is to aircraft maintenace is duct tape and WD40, America West can invest on storage cabinets stocked with the afore mentioned supplies at each gate house. When a maintenace problem arises, one of the super smart Fleet Service Clerks can shed his knee pads, drop the wands and grab a roll of duct tape and a can of WD40. This will also cut back extensively on maintenance delays since everthing required to work on a multi million dollar aircraft is right there at the gate. No more wasting money stocking parts since all that is needed to fix an airplane is: thats right, duct tape and WD40. No more waiting on disgruntled AMTs having just been roused from a nap, then making a pit stop at the head and grabbing a cup of Joe before heading out at glacier speed to a gate call. This also eliminates the need for wasting good bonus money on maintenance vehicles.

Good Idea maybe if AA tried that their MD80's wouldn't have been grounded and they wouldn't have been fined

Agreed, as I previously posted. Too much wasted talent on the ramp.
