Ok 700 thanks for the spell ck. LIAR!I posted the flier that was recieved yesterday, you prove its wrong, you are the one who claimed its a fraud, yet you havent posted any information to prove its a fraud.

Speaking of lies: If you didn't get it the first time;
Wrong again Travis. ibt DID NOT set the bar for wages at SWA. They did in fact keep us at the bottom of the pay scales for decades. Then along came AMFA at NWA who is the real reason we make what we make currently. AMFA set the new and improved wages in the airline industry period. Yes the ibt was our representational union at the time we received our rather large increases, however, it was tied directly to the wages AMFA got the NWA mechanics as they were used in nego's by the nego cmte. The only bar set by the ibt at SWA was the bottom of the pay scales for decades until AMFA won the industry leading wages at NWA. Now that is fact...
ANOTHER LIE DUDE.
According to the the IBT negotiated agreement for Southwest Mechanics in effect August 16, 2001 to August, 16 2005;
Mechanics with at least 12 years were paid base rate $32.00 plus $1.30 longevity plus $4.00 for an A&P license ($6.00 if you also have an avionics certificate) plus 100% profit sharing what ever that turned out to be. You were making at least $37.30 which was most definitely industry leading with the Teamster negotiated agreement.
In contrast, a table I found from 2009 has the all in rates (base, license, longevity, skill) for equivalent top earners at several airlines;
UA - $31.69 Air Tran - $34.58 AA- $32.75 CO - $32.84 Delta - $31.81 US - $30.88
By this same year, Southwest was up to $41.32 (with increases paid for by outsourcing maintenance to El Salvador).
How can you argue that the IBT did not create industry leading wages at WN?? You and UPS have always been on top. Everyone knows that (to use one of your favorite phrases).
You claim that the IBT looked to NWA mechanics represented by amfa as a model and point of inspiration? Are you sure you want to make that claim? After all, because of amfa the union mechanics at NWA were replaced by workers willing to take pennies to the dollar.
...The Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association said Wednesday members voted 82%-17% for the contract, which will make Northwest's 9,000 mechanics the best-paid in their industry. The 4-year contract will be signed Friday and takes effect May 12. "This is a very important day at Northwest," says company spokesman Doug Killian....
The flier came out of AA from JFK and ORD, no US Maintenance in either of those stations.
And once again you flaunt your oh so special brand of teamster ignorance.
AMFA raised the bar for all airline mechanics when they signed their agreement in May 2001, making them the industry leader.

AMFA raised the bar May 2001, teamsters followed in August 2001.
And you wonder why I call you a reamster... LOLAnd then amfa sat back and watched as each of their members were replaced by non union mechanics. How many hours did the NWA amfa members enjoy the "industry leading" wages? Nice joke Mr Comedian.
Lucky for all of us, no other union was stupid enough to follow amfa.
In 2001, the IBT negotiated a contract at Southwest Airlines giving the mechanics an industry leading and unheard of wage of nearly $40.00 an hour to the top earners by 2005. This was in addition to a generous profit sharing plan. This contract did NOT lead to the eventual death of the craft as with NWA and held strong enough by the end of the term to allow for a further increase by amfa (although they gave up domestic stations in return for higher wages).
Teamsters negotiates strong, responsible contracts that will not have you looking for another job by mid term because the company either folded or entered bankruptcy and hired replacement workers. If you want unrealistic and unsustainable wages, join dream team amfa. They have ocean front property in Arizona.
