I pointed out that JFK and MIA are getting the BCs out and DFW is not. Bob said that wasn't true about JFK. I'm not bragging about DFW, I am surprised after getting spanked over the 737 and 757 write up games and subsequent pulling if those checks we haven't learned. I would not be surprised if the people who look stupid are the ones tanking the 777 BC. Were the inspectors missing that much that it now takes three to four days to finish the check? Sure makes our QA brothers look bad. Why does JFK and MIA not have the same problem. This union needs a strategy

For you to make this statement, "WOW" it must just kill you. You an many other TWU supporters have questioned us the members whom support AMFA, what's our or AMFA's plan if we bring amfa here? What plan did they have at NWA has been your cry.
Yet we have asked YOU and others, what is the TWU's master plan, since we just seem to continue to spiral downward.
It is going to take the combined effort of the
TWU/IAM/IBT/AMFA the unions which represent many in this industry to work together to undo the changes to our industry and make it again a fun and great place to work. As long as these unions battle to be the top dawgs constant fighting, we the airline workers will suffer.
The TWU supporters say that AMFA is not AFL-CIO affiliated so what. This labor organization (afl-cio) has done what for us? You talk about numbers and strength with them. Why haven't the leaders of these union said lets divide the groups into specific work groups. each taking a class and craft. Since as union member we are supposed to support one another during strife.
If that happened each class and craft will have its own union through out the industry and if any carrier went down the standard for pay and benefits will be the same.
If you had to change jobs you can maintain the life you had.
This is something that would be a great move but the TWU is NOT a forward thinking union, it's a company pet. Looking out for itself to keep the dues coming in.
A Union is supposed to be about the workers, "BUT" it has become about the union in the last twenty yr's or so.
It's Time to make a change that will make a difference, it's time for the mechanics in my class and craft to VOTE, which is the only fair way to decide who we pay these due too.
