What's the attitude in Tulsa?

[odie01]

Even though the wind is out of the North today, the smoke signals from TULE NATION are very weak and hard to read. What's it going to be boy's, "Enough is Enough" or "Thank you sir, may I have another".

Is Jim Little's secratary a union member? Or is the TWU paying her so much so she doesn't unionize? I hope she is not just an expensive prostitute (no offense intended just a question)

She probably knows more about what's going on than Jim does, and also where all the bodies are buried. Probably better to keep her happy and on the payroll....

Well if you must know what is going in T-Town I will try to explain. The members of TWU Local 514 are anticipating the upcoming round of contract negotiations and the buzz is what are they going after but to date no information has been released.

Oh, and if your interest for the T-Town question is about the AMP drive, well its a dead stick, even my welder friend who encouraged me to read the AMP Constitution and offer my opinion has quit coming around too. I guess he too seen the light....

AMP drive is "dead stick" huh? I guess maybe to the cuttin' oil and the bass fishin' TWu crowd, but not over yonder in them thar other parts.

Is that bright light from the train coming in TWu negotiations?

The only light I've noticed around here lately is coming from the dark corner of AMFA's failed past here at AA.

Oh, false alarm. Its only Uncle Fester standing with a 40watt light bulb in his mouth supporting a new casualty, AMP......LOL

Its the light shining through your ears while looking in the fridge for some bologna for TWu Informer.

That's great Speedy, you remember our short-lived contract that AMFA negotiated for the TWu in 2001. Too bad the TWu can only follow instead of lead, but you got another chance to show us that TWu Power again on the 14th....LOL

That Uncle Fester dude, was that "TWu light bulb" Kirk Wells that the TWu 514 sent to seek and destroy back in the day??? Those were the days....funny stuff.

"To the doors and stop!!!" To the doors and stop!!!" hahahahaha......

Hey Hackman, You and your pal Odie opted to set up these arrangements. Remember, I voted YES......LOL

I expected nothing less from you, a true TWu wanna believer. Do like your master tells you, YES man. It's also no surprise your beloved TWu failed again to bring back an acceptable contract.

Concessions R Us....

Must be karaokie night at the Boars Nest, I heard CIO, HSS, and Informer, have their own rendition of "I do not walk the line" by Johnny Cash. Rosco and Cooter do back up vocals..... brings down the house every time.

I am Marlene Borisuck, Executive Secretary to TWU International President James C. Little, and the subject of deeply offensive and hurtful remarks by “Duke 787” (posted at 11:12 am on December 6 under the “American Airlines” topic “What’s the Attitude in Tulsa”). I will not comment on whether Duke’s remarks are legally defamatory as that may be raised by me in the future.

“Duke 787” obviously considers himself something of a humorist; one may be forgiven for not cracking a smile, though, at his notion that TWU’s salary structure for its administrative employees is determined by the need to keep us from belonging to a union (I, along with fellow staff members, happen to be a dues paying member of TWU). However, Duke’s so-called humor alone would not even have elicited from me a comment, let alone the demand which I make below.

What is hurtful and offensive in Duke’s flip remarks is his expressed—and alleged—“hope” that I am “not just an expensive prostitute.” Duke may think that he has managed to avoid accusing me of being a prostitute by raising it as a purported “question”; but in fact, his comment was obviously engineered to make precisely that accusation. His expressed “hope” that I am not the sort of degraded creature that he accuses me of being is no more believable than his silly claim that he intended no offense by his remark. Is there a woman around who would not be deeply offended by his words? In my particular case, I note that I was notified of his offensive comment by a 1 AM call from my husband; hearing about it from him only multiplied the pain of seeing Duke 787’s words in print, spread all over the cyberworld

I ask, and demand that AviationForums immediately remove Duke 787’s offensive and hurtful remarks from the website, as your website rules provide (a copy of this was sent to “contacts” at AviationForum).

I also ask that Duke 787 identify himself and apologize in this Forum. An apology is obviously necessary and justified. And an anonymous apology, equally obviously, has no meaning. Is Duke a real man? His willingness to take responsibility for his deeply offensive statement, and to himself stand up and apologize for it, will provide the answer to this question.

The Internet can be a wonderful place, as well as a terribly cruel one. As I join the ranks of those who have been injured by its cruel side, I ask AviationForums and all its readers—including Duke 787—to join with me in rejecting the kind of cheap opportunities that the Internet offers to make anonymous and hurtful remarks.

Marlene,
I can't apologize for what Duke 787 posted, but do think it was inapropriate, I also think his post was directed more towards the wasteful spending of our dues money, than a personal attack. We, the membership, don't understand why your boss, and his officers, continue to get pay raises, year after year, why we've been under a concessionary contract for 8 years.

So what does a secratary do to earn 140k a year compared to an aircraft mechanic? :blink:

Let's see... you want this guy to out himself, yet reserve the right to pursue a defamation suit?


I'm not a lawyer, but would suspect that if you really are a six figure union official, then that might qualify you as a business leader, and therefore fair game for public mockery and criticism.

Now, if you were an AA employee, at least you could claim sexual harassment under Rule 33...

Marlene,
Please go to this site and surf around a few minutes, you will see why we are so frustrated with your boss and his officers.
