"Emotion kills, logic prevails. Your union will once again be in court where anything can happen."
"It's your ball game and your risk."
More than a bit melodramatic yourself I'd say. No, it's the company picking the fight and risk. Standing up to the company, and all the brinksmanship that goes with it is a risk, to be sure....but more firmly grounded; ethically,morally, and legally. Memesis.
"My idea was to protect mechanic jobs with a no furlough clause, but if you want to take the risk that could result in your head being chopped off, then "go for it"."
For the 1457th time: "No layoff clause"? Something like a contract? Like the one that the company is attempting to circumvent? Does the logic escape you?
"It's your mortage, medical insurance, pension, and income -- not mine."
More drama....and you forgot the schmaltzy piano music and string section. In fact why not use this imagery against those who are picking this fight...and attempting to breach a written contract. AHEM!!!
"I wrote about a reasonable solution that deserved reasonable debate, but I'm tired of writing about it. It's your party and your risk where all overhaul mechanics could lose thier job if the company wins the appeal in a court where a Rendell presides."
And we're tired of reading your writing. Now you express contemptuous indifference because your comments are just not resonating here. Verbal darwinism...gotta love it.
"Then you would be like Southwest mechanics, with no overhaul."
An argument with increasingly less teeth as time goes by. Go now. Use your vast web acumen, the same you wield so skillfully in scavenge hunts for self-serving stuff to post, and find out how much in-house work WN does or does not do. Go solicit info from WN mechanics on the various commercial aviation oriented websites. The key here is the relative trends. I figure this is a better reponse than a 2 word one that would breach decorum.
"Considering Dave Siegel is vindictive (just ask the Allegheny and Piedmont pilots) it would not surprise me if the company wins the appeal you get your clocks cleaned."
Big time sour grapes on your inability to shape opinions in the matter on this BB...either that, or the deep down disdain you may have felt all along surfaces now. I don't know, but are you suggesting making a deal with a vindictive party?
...and to think this all started from a link to a re-hash of a 2-3 week old article. Nothing like the commanding power of the printed word in the press to validate eh? Pffft!
