What Next?

[Hopeful]

So the TWU pulled off a major coup with foreign repair issue. WOW! They are good! Amazing it comes at the time AMFA will be filing for an election! Too bad the TWU never exhibited such negotiating skills in the past. Too bad they negotiated the worst contracts in the industry. And I'm not just referring to this current debacle that was jammed down out throats! WHO CAN FORGET THE FIERCELY NEGOTIATED 1995 6 1/2% FOR 6 YEARS? AND THAT WAS DURING SOME OF AA'S MOST PROFITABLE YEARS!

What did they win? NOTHING

The company won the right to continue to do exactly what they always have done in the past, now they just use the FAR's as the excuse. Also the 5 stations they mentioned are not limited to those stations. The company is free to increase this work if the "FAR's" require it.

How is that done, easy. The original grievance was based on the fact that the company was running planes out of time in foreign countries and then utilizing outsourced workers, now hired by AA, to do checks. The settlement allows the company to continue this process without restrictions and can increase it by simply flying more out of times to foreign countries.

What a sham....
