RIF Notices

That doesn't make sense. There are at least 30 on the machinist upgrade list. Some fresh out of tech that are qualified according to AAs standards. I have 10yrs machinist exp before hiring on AA and have a AA/TWU letter meeting all qualifications.

Big Mac - re-read what I said. You're doing your management a good job where you are - no way in hell will you be allowed to move.

I cannot wrap my head around a thought process designed to bring about failure but I've never been in a position where I was generously rewarded for said failure, either. As best as I can tell, the MBA degree is awarded to those who can throw common sense out the window and understand the underlying "logic" behind this perversion of thought and reason.

As the old joke goes, "sitbakeren, relaxen, und vatch der binkenlites".

I read and understood your post Frank.
I was responding to "enough alreadys" post.

No problem - I get these posts confused also.

So far they've gone back to 07/08/96 (AMTs, PWs & A/C cleaners given RIF letters) in TULE.

Dropped by to see any numbers.................man, I'm so glad I got the hell out of that $h!thole.
I picked right up where I left off with my payrate at the lazy B(if your off of payroll less than 1 yr, you pick up where you left), also prev Co time credited toward pension(OT accelerates 5 yrs required for vesting-ie, I have less than 4 yrs Co time, but system states I'm over 4 yrs toward being fully vested. IOWs, I'll be fully vested in the Boeing pension-easily, by the time I reach my 1 yr anniv here next June). On the other hand, I'm a newhire on IAM seniority list. Have met many exAA mechanics up here.

I wish all you guys the best in moving forward. This just sucks. Been there a few times.
You TULE guys, might be best served looking down in Dallas or Houston area for something. Economy's much better down there in Texas vs Okla. I'm originally from Houston, and a guy can generally find something down there. Maybe in oil & gas??(esp if Romney/Ryan gets in the WH-lifts restraints off ind??)
Take care.

They went to 7/97 for AMTS in Tulsa.

My (amt) brother- in- law is 7/96 and got his friday.

He's an Amt? There's a bunch of us with 97 that did not get one. On 5f there is a bunch of 97 and they only went to July 97 and only to a certain age.

If he's an Amt maybe he has 7/97 not 7/96?

 

[Buster CRC]

I heard of a amt in door shop with 9/96 getting a RIF.

 

[AA Tulsa Mechanic]

I just called the grievance hall and the date for AMT rif is officially 7/21/97 in Tulsa. Not all employees with that date received a rif only up to a certain age.

 

[BigMac]

I'm telling you my bro n law got a RIF letter. Seniority of 7/96. He is an AMT. I seen him and his letter Saturday. He got it on Friday. End of story. The union is full of sh!t...period.

 

[BigMac]

Look up around #2881 on the AMT TULE seniority list and give me the seniority date of that individual. Now would like a pic of the RIF letter to prove the union is lying?

 

[AA Tulsa Mechanic]

Yes.

 

[BigMac]

K, will do. Give me a day. I'm on mids and he's on day shift. I'll get a pic in the morning. I do find it sad that you trust this union...however it'll be posted in the morning.
