Why I Voted Yes

[Hopeful]

So you have, A&P mechanics working on ground equipment?

Why are they not working the aircraft?

Where have you been all these years?

Where have you been all these years?

I've been hear, however I missed that.

How 'bout that? An IBT contract is number one, and Alaska is BEHIND UAL, another IBT contract. This chart totally disproves your earlier claim that AMFA holds the number 1 AND 2 positions. How can you possible explain this???

Most do not compare UPS and FEDEX into the pay comparison for passenger service carriers and when I posted I was unaware that UAL was about to get or recently got a payraise.

I did not make the chart Bob Owens did. I simply made and image of it and posted it for informational purposes as this pertains the ratification of the last best offer, which happens to be the topic. You want the topic to be about me, but it isn't.

Per passenger service carriers when I made the statement about AMFA being #1 and #2 it was factual at the time.

I know of quite a few class I & II stations that utilize A&P's to do ground equipment work.
But, like many other practices of past, all good things do come to an end.

Wasn't there an AMT recently killed working on ground equipment?

Yea, I believe so.
But, hey, these are one of those changes where you could say aircrat mechanics should be doing aircraft maintenance work only.
Just compensate us appropriately.

Another "no" vote here at AFW.

Hey sport, if you take one hand off your eye, you might notice SWA pays wages approx $21,700 higher than the AA pos offer. UPS is a very lucrative business and girl scouts could get a good contract. Can the teamsters unionize non-union Fedex? Now that would impress me.

lol....true for about a month. Up until the latest 5 year agreement at Alaska, CAL and it's IBT contract made more. This changed July 1 when all UAL mechanics (CO and UA) jumped ahead of them again. As for your first statement "Most do not compare UPS and FEDEX into the pay comparison for passenger service carriers" I'll throw the BS flag there. Any time we are looking at a new contract, we all look at the highest pay earners who do the same thing we do. UPS aircraft mechanics fix airplanes. United aircraft mechanics fix airplanes. We do the exact same thing. Why would you buy in to the company argument that they are different? Slow down on the kool-aid.

Thats why its not suprising that HSS is pushing this.

I found out there is a husband and wife that are gonna take the funds and go and between the 2 of them they are looking to walk away with over $100,000.00.... How's it going at your station, any married couples there? How many members at your station are looking to take the funds and go?

 

[High Speed Steel]

Almost 7,000 hits.... B)

Isn't it $39500 x 2 ?

Is it Blackman and his wife. That would be the only way a couple could live off a hundred grand and pay for medical. Unless your old enough for social security, medicare and have a huge 401 its not worth it. Without a hobby or turning down your hearing aids you gotta listen and be around your wife 24/7. Dadgum 24/7 with the Mrs.,that alone is worth voting no.
