Call it even? Not now, not ever SUPERscab. Your a pawn for the man 'Cods, and you've fallen right in to the trap for a scab pittance and a hotel room, sold yourself like a cheap whore. You are in the middle of a world of sh*t. Your arrogance, foolishness, and cowardice is why I am glad your a Scab Air dupe, because you can't see what's coming, and most of us here can't wait until you get blindsided. Only 10% of former (again mostly IAM) union workers scabbed. AMFA members on strike voted down the last worst offer, and told Stealin', Andy Robber, and "That Girl" to shove it. This strike by AMFA has cost Scab Air millions they don't have, and it remains a huge cash drain even now with you dipsh*ts screwing up all the time. What invester is going to sink millions in a debt ridden, junk shell of an airline with no assets and pissed off pilots and F/A's? Not many is my guess.
Management is overreaching with the other unions and it looks very ugly to say the least. You are along for the ride "at will" clown , and if a strike comes, your back to the hole you crawled out of. Your gonna run home to the wife and her lover and say, "Sheeet baby, I'm back ya'll, sorry to walk in on ya like that, but my scab career is over."
...and I'm having a big smile thinking about it. 😀
I find it absolutely astonishing that there are individuals such as yourself that were EVER in aviation. It's obvious where your loyalties (misplaced loyalties, at that) lie. You'd much rather be out there in the cold, jobless, spending your savings on necessitites rather than retirement, spouting mindless, nearly illiterate, led-by-the-nose-by-DeLaFemme drivel about how WONDERFUL your alleged "union" is and how you're going to make this HUGE comeback. Get real, dipstick.....the mechanics that work for NWA right NOW have more power and pull than AMFA ever had, or ever WOULD have.
First, think about your "union". Who made out on this deal? Not the guys who walked out (WITHOUT a strike fund, or support from the other unions....knuckleheads). The ONLY people in AMFA that did OK in this are the leaders of that "union" who refused to allow the membership to vote on ANYTHING other than the authorization to strike. You never saw a contract offer, you never got a say in what was going on.....doesn't sound like much of a friggin' "union" to me. You guys got railroaded, BIG time, by your own leadership. You got bent over the proverbial arm of the couch and didn't even get kissed.
Now, think about the guys that are working there NOW. If the company ever decides to do something silly like ask for another pay cut, they will WALK....no notice, no "thanks for the memories", no kiss on the cheek. All of a sudden, there'll be NO maintenance happening, and THEN our friends at the Feds will come down, and HARD. Do you actually think that there's any place but "up" to go for these folks? Anything else would be sheer corporate suicide, and management knows it. They all KNOW that these mechanics are USED to just packing their stuff up and leaving. Do you actually think that NWA would hire YOU back?....HA!!...there's about as much chance of that as there is of a really UGLY chick with warts and a harelip marrying Brad Pitt....just ain't gonna happen, fella. Try to remember how much damage to property, tooling, and buildings was done just prior to this strike.....that's called "burning the bridges", Mr. Union Man....and then blowing up the wreckage.
Face FACTS.....face REALITY.....the battle of AMFA vs. NWA is OVER, and AMFA MEMBERS took it in the rosy-red rectal regions, courtesy of ego-driven, inept, and confrontatinal "union" leadership. The war isn't over, as you say....but like I said earlier, these guys are used to just packing their stuff and moving on......with the benefit of a BUNCH of really good training and experience......and it won't hurt their ability to get another job at all. Not one single, teensy bit.
Welcome to the glamorous and exciting world of COMPETING in the workplace, dude. Your "union" gambled with YOUR jobs and lost, big-time. Instead of getting mad and all "huffy" about scabs-this, and scabs-that, why don't you direct your justifiable anger against the ones who grabbed you poor suckers by the nose and led you STRAIGHT down the path to unemployment?
Oh....did I mention that since you're still "on strike" and turned down any kind of severance package and furlough status, you're not eligible for unemployment insurance payments?.......you shoulda took the money and ran like hell........
