it kills me the amount of arrogance about towing an aircraft, yes it is dangerous to move aircraft at an airport during flight operations, but we all were new doing it at one time or another. We were trained just like the FSCs will be trained. It sucks losing that work, but who actually thinks we are going to get Delta pay but keep AAs 1990s head count and scope.
Do not make the mistake thinking that you are better then anyone else just because you're a mech. Look how many former FSCs are mechs, I know FSC that are pilots, firemen and entrepreneurs. They just have a different job then us, and at DFW there are FSCs that are former AFW mechs that didn't want to leave Texas for some reason, there is even a station where Eagle ramp move our planes around the airport, and that includes running the APU talking on the radios and going on the taxi ways ($15 an hour).
