Joey, I feel the same way. Most of my family works at NWA. I use to walk the hangars on B-side when I was little and being a mechanic I wanna to be when I grew up. My childhood dream turned into a royal nightmare. This so called union that we voted for turned into a sham. I voted no for this lousy contract because these idiots gave up good language in exchange to show the rest of the industry they got us good wages, well they didn't! I wanted full retro, not some signing bonus that wasn't even a forth of what I would have gotten if we would of received full retro. This union can take there so called industry leading contract and PACK IT! How will these idiots survive now that almost three fourths of there membership has been let go and probably and most likely never come back. Thank you AMFA for destroying my dream and the dreams of everyone else you stiffed.

Gamble? How dare you insinuate that what I did was gamble! I've never gambled in my life and I didn't gamble when I decided not to move after I was ILLEGALLY laid off. That's right Brother! AMFA told me that NWA laying me off was illegal and that the company would lose this in arbitration. John Roby and Steve MacFarlane and Jim Atkinson personally told me that I would be back to work as soon AMFA got my grievance arbitrated. So I didn't gamble! AMFA LIED to me!!!! Is it ok for AMFA to lie to me? Mathews actually told me that I might as well suck up the severance and unemployment while staying home, because he and the Seehams would certainly win my grievance and have me back at work before that ran out. Hello, it RAN OUT! I was mislead. That's not my fault.

You may want to take Knobby's website with a grain of salt. We do, but if he helps your cause, go for it.
