Yes they could but you still have to pay a service fee, which is almost like the dues but cheaper, they still have to represent you, and they can not fine you, if there ever was a strike and you crossed, it's Federal Law.
If you read my whole statement Buck, I said that wasn't for you, It posted, couldn't take your comment out. That first statement was for Crowsfoot, I apologize to you Buck.
You would have a choice Weazz pay the dues become a member, or fill out the paperwork and be a dues objector, not a member and pay the service fee, or get sued and get fired, those are your choices under AMFA constitution, you cannot not pay anything, and work at SWA.
No, I am not a martyr, I am still alive.
I have considered putting in a transfer to a TULE position and CS'ing half my time off. I think of it like insurance. If one job fails then I still have a full time job. It's insurance that pays YOU. The truth is the only reason I have not is I found being an employee under the TWU stressful and toxic. Unlike many of you I have worked on both the blue and white collar side of American Airlines and I can tell you I found the white collar atmosphere a lot more agreeable,
I did not know we were competing.
I am hoping the environment changes at American Airlines. It is sad to come on here and see nothing but pissed off people all the time. Personally I think the situation is engineered. B737 driver stated you would still be here 10 years having this same conversation, and you know what, he was right. Complaining is not problem solving.
Yet another validation.
I am not the one pissed off at the world Hackman. You and I have never had cross words until you initiated them.
But it wasn't planned and AMFA didn't know anything about it. Over in SWA land AMFA has put out update #66 explaining why we still don't have a T/A, blaming the company again. Playing the same song for the last 6 years. I predict a torch and pitch fork campaign is coming soon from this membership.
"No, I am not a martyr, I am still alive.No, I am not a martyr, I am still alive.
I did choose to leave yes. However American Airlines shut my shop down, choice was irrelevant at that point. Luckily I saw the writing on the wall and prepared for it. If I had chose to stay my shop would have only stayed open for a few more months. Taking early layoff is irrelevant, the end result would have been the same.
I chose not to pursue relocation or transfer to another title group that is true. Given the company had slashed pay and benefits why would I? I receive validation I made the right choice everyday I come on here and read these posts.

I rather my wife work in a pleasant place than a place of pissed of people.
Yet another validation.
Thanks for that.

As soon as I read this "A libtard wants to live in a fantasy world (in which life is the way they wish it was) as opposed to dealing with life the way it actually is." I figured we were of like mind.
I guess not.
" You sure acted like a pseudo martyr La Li. You stated how you got laid off and then tried to tie that in with your bias UNION hatred when I stated you were an outsider on this AMT thread. It was the benevolent company that closed your shop. not the UNION.
I see your bitter dialogue continues with La lu, you better sharpen up your resume or get a new union in there so you can get your dream contract. Oh but wait with bankruptcy coming according to you , a new union won't help. We can't compete with Delta, but wait aren't they being run by ex Northwest management, how can those guys make a profit and pay everyone so well. Boy you fun to watch when you blabber on and on."No, I am not a martyr, I am still alive.

You choose to take the lay off, instead of transferring to another station out of TULE. No matter how you quantify it, you left. Don't know what a "early layoff" is. Don't care about your life story either. However, it's some what disturbing to me that you are demented enough to waste time on the AMT thread your not part of and the AA board to constantly throw out your vitriol and dissent against those of us working here. Your AA wife doesn't post here (I assume), why not? I hope she isn't a UNION member. That would be turmoil in the La Li house for her.
"The truth is the only reason I have not is I found being an employee under the TWU stressful and toxic. Unlike many of you I have worked on both the blue and white collar side of American Airlines and I can tell you I found the white collar atmosphere a lot more agreeable,"
But of course, you would. The company management likes and endorses the hostile work environment, it was bad for many years. Now it's much worse with DUI Doug Parker and his band of merry misfits. Look at how horrible US Air, Northwest, and America West management treated it's employees over the years. DUI Doug states in his company propaganda he wants to "chAAnge the culture of distrust" with laughable slogans like "Validate the Trust" and "Team Member". In so far, nothing but lies and empty words. Watch the management back stabbing increase as lay-offs come for them. They eat their own more than we do. Witnessed it for 30 years, only it has gotten worse with AA's fall into the commuter airline status with the new executives pillaging the airline while we have 24 billion in debt. Spending over $1 billion on a new massive "Parker Place" headquarters while Delta kicks our tail all over the sky. Parker makes double the yearly compensation of Gary Kelly at SWA. Won the lottery...every year since 2014.
"I did not know we were competing." You seem to be trying to do that very thing.
"I rather my wife work in a pleasant place than a place of pissed of people." I would suggest she quit or retire then, and go work with you at your business, it's much better as you stated many times. AA will be in bankruptcy again as soon as the cyclic economy falls with all this debt load and failure to manage this huge airline. That's why no one wanted US Air to merge. We can't compete with Delta, not with this inept management.

"Yet another validation.
Thanks for that."
Just feeding your big ego,
"I am not the one pissed off at the world Hackman. You and I have never had cross words until you initiated them."
Wasn't me sir. You conflated my "your an outsider" statement with being in a UNION, as you detest any union. No worries, doesn't bother me. Your pissed off enough to argue here all most daily with the world of AA, when your not employed here anymore. I would like to go interject on your Wal-Mart Computer Programmer BB and state how much I detest you lowly button pushers, and how Indian Computer Programmers are so much better and far cheaper than you are. Would you mind? You should not, right?
As soon as I read this "A libtard wants to live in a fantasy world (in which life is the way they wish it was) as opposed to dealing with life the way it actually is." I figured we were of like mind.
I'm mostly a conservative, I don't trust any politicians and I believe in freedom, strong military, and the second amendment. However, I think safety sensitive and dangerous jobs or high profile jobs you can go to federal prison for need specific craft unions to protect the workers from predatory management. You despise anything UNION, all of them, and you seem like sociopath.
Let me know when I can start posting my outsider opinions and vitriol about your career on your Programmer BB site. Should be fun. Later.
Well, unfortunately a man that lives on his knees like yourself everything looks bitter, your rose colored glasses have peculiar white stains on them that prevent you from seeing straight Reamster Roy.
