This is why there should have never been an ASSociation!
Never has there been a More True statement.
There have been many
AMFA drives and even a
IBT card drive and each time we the TOTAL Group did not sign enough cards either way to rid ourselves of the TWU.
We have as a group said give them one more chance. Well we are stuck now with this association and the Leaders at the Locals we all as a group do/don't like. It's NOT the base nor the Line guys or even the IAM guys it's us
ALL.
Many here have shown us all the pitfalls of the TWU, what we have given up or lost over all the yrs and still the TWU is still here. Some here support the TWU we all have our own choices to make. Like it or NOT it is what it is. No one really wants to get involved let the other guy doit. That seems to be what has gone on here at AA and throughout the industry as a whole.
That is why we have the same guys in office ALL the Time. This has been on many threads here on this forum, MAKE A CHANGE TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. We can not get a straight answer on many subject we all have been speculating on putting in our bits and pieces of info.
Isn't time the TWU and the IAM or the new Association put out true info and tell us what is happening and why they are letting AA do what they are doing, since they are supposed to WORK for US, Not the other way around.
Many are not happy with the $1.63 we got, some say it's something, better than $0.00.
What about the Prefund money, what about the stock, is AA going to keep the IAMNPF
we can say it is but the Leaders of the Assoc./TWU/IAM have not said a word. AA is just changing things and we just take it here at AA and from talking to US air mechanics its the same way there.
Just be prepared to be disappointed again, lets hope DP will give us another buy out before the Layoffs come so the older guys can depart saving jobs so that we as a Group don't have to give up anymore to AA and suffer yrs to come under a subpar contract.
