TWU negotiations.........what?

[Birdman]

And as for AAR.....they can just turn around and take there damn 19-20/hr paltry wages back to OKC,

A CC on our dock that went to the job fair said they started at $22.50 plus more for experience. The were needing avionics people.

Did they need line mechanics or union officials?

No

The news coming out of the negotiations is that there is nO negotiations!

This is a better update than the one the TWU put out.

Only because they've had to raise the wage(hiccup)to get body's in the hgr. And btw.....you'll get your raises when they'll feel damn good and ready(read, never-until you submit your 2 wks notice to leave).

They smell desperation and possible opportunity here....
I wkd in the OKC #### hole for 2 wks while out of the airlines...you wouldn't believe it-and what they get away with doing to there mechs. The article in the Tulsa World was just laughable...

What would we not believe?

AA will be outsourcing more work soon. AAR may be contracted to do AA work in the future. So if an AA amt leaves AA to hire on AAR would they be considered a scab?

A scab performs "struck" work and nothing more.

They need mechanics period. I don't know about you but I've worked both and can tell you on the line you learn more and are more valuable to them than strictly an overhaul guy

.

The settlements, if any, will be concessionary. Regrettably, that is the way bankruptcy works. If we do not reach consensual concessionary deals, the judge decides per the 1113 process. He decides whether or not to reject our contracts in order to allow AA to emerge successfully from bankruptcy.

I don't know about you but I'm voting no again! Jim little can stick his concessionary contract up his are!!! Either way we are screwed

Maybe not a "scab" per say....but you sure as hell are indirectly assisting AA & other carriers in pulling off the mass outsourcing they so desire.

If that's what comml aviation has come to, I'm out.
My tickets are not for sale that cheap! Absolutely ridiculous.

When will AAR pass American in wages, everyone else has?

The definition of a scab is like the northwest mechanics. If American shows you the door, you are not a scab.

"Our discussions with the TWU have been constructive, but there are still major gaps to address.
