TA reached for TWU dispatchers and Ops specialists at AA

[MetalMover]

I don't mock YOU and I don't call YOU an elitist. That's only reserved for "select" individuals.

And YOU know that.

Cmon WeAAsles...don't you know a little ribbing when you see it?

 

[Worldport]

I hear ya!  But congrats on a good contract. 
Maybe if there were only 400 mechanics and 400 fleet service, we all would be making $140k.

Don't tell that to Buck

Oh, I'm waiting for the response to my post. B)

 

[MetalMover]

TWU likes to say "strength in numbers".

I'm thinking maybe not in all cases.

Oh strength in numbers has done miracles for airline workers since deregulation.

 

[WeAAsles]

maybe because there only 400 of em?

Absolutely why I'm sure.

Ok Metal. Touché

I've had one coming, lol.

 

[MetalMover]

I agree, Do you think they would pay thousands of them 140k?

You're slipping WeAAsles........

Metal we have guys in our own group that have a general idea what's coming and I can guarantee you are going to vote no as well. I don't know what Planet people live on sometimes?

I'm a little tired today. Mind is a little blunt. (Left my detractors the opening)

I'll do you one better. If you recall in 2001 when we all got decent raises under Don Carty, the voting started the week of 9-11. With the entire ATC and Airline system shut down, we were beginning to vote. I worked with quite a few people who believed we could still do better and voted no.  The WEEK OF 9-11....!!!!!!!!!!

Good, I was getting worried.

There are a lot of pilots.

DUDE we had the same lunatics in my group. And right after they got the raise everyone was buying new cars and boats, I kid you not.

Pay cuts in 03 and personal bankruptcies started one year later.

True....But ground workers are a different breed.
