I guess you can't read either!WOW
And you voted NO on the T/A?
Amazing
I said if I "owned" AA, idiot! lol
Here's my real plan if I were in Jim Little's shoes.....which I'm not!
#1. Mirror Delta tech ops, Lufthansa Technik and others by doing lots of MRO work at AFW & TUL. One-time conversion AMT to OSM at bases, and farm out all OH. That's a no brainer and I think everyone is on board with the theory that OH is a losing battle for the union.
#2. Create a mandatory retirement age for mechanics....say 67. There must be a turnover system to bring in younger and more talented workers. Early outs only raises costs on the company.
#3. It's imperative that mechanics are held accountable for their work. Put a system in place where your pay increases are based on feedback from your peers.
#4 It's time to decertify the union. Like I said before, the union is only here to protect the slugs. In #3, the slugs would be gone! Create a one-time test of mechanics.....where the company can select the best qualified workers. And then, pay them accordingly. UPS, WN wages?????? maybe!
This is the real deal Informer, I don't believe AA is looking to reward anybody. I think the time has come where 3rd party aircraft maintenance has given the airlines an alternative by doing maintenance for less. Our own mechanics work second jobs at 3rd party outfits for less than what they make at AA, and no benefits. You think AA and others aren't aware of that. Our own guys are throwing ALL of us under the bus by working for less, thus forcing US to accept less because the alternative for AA is farming out our work to those contractors. WE are our own worst enemies!!
