Jim Atkinson, a union representative for Northwest mechanics in the Twin Cities, said the issue has caused widespread resentment among the rank and file.

Geez.....they are laying off ANOTHER 600 mechanics? How many does that make now?

And what will be the TWU/AA number once STL fllights are cut in half and the unannounced Maintenace Base closes? How many will that make total?

I find it interesting that the TWU supporters cannot tell us what their own union has done to justify continuation on AA property, all they can do is keep up the negative campaigning that focuses on other airlines instead of their own members hardships.

That's a good question. How many will that be? How many at A/A are laid off now? For that matter, does anyone have accurate numbers for all airlines?

BTW, I was just asking a question, no need to get so defensive.
