Hey LAVMAN, If you ask the IAM about that which I am posting, you will NEVER GET THE TRUTH.
I do post FACTUAL INFO...just like the stuff I saw on paper at the CLT-AMFA info meeting. Here's a new concept....Ask a question and get an answer that's backed up on official documentation....that's what you get with AMFA

.
Ask a question to the IAM and you get any of the following:
We can't answer that at this time.
We have nothing new to tell you.
We can't tell you that because it's secret.
LIES, DECEIT, SECRECY and MISREPRESENTATION are the IAM WAY. :down:
The sooner you come to grips with the TRUTH blueboy, the sooner you will understand. B)

The following scans are copies of a lawsuit filed against the IAM and USAir by Mechanics formerly employed by Trump Shuttle and Eastern Airlines before the acquisition of the Shuttle by USAir.
UPDATE: The IAM was recently found guilty of these charges and now have appealed. See copy of appeal on IAM 141m site under US Airways.
E-TRONS, If you need proof of IAM LIES, DECEIT, SECRECY and MISREPRESENTATION look no further.
Pay particular attention pages 26, 27,28,37, 38, 42, 43 and 45.
