Hey Groucho, you ever thought about moving on with your life instead of blaming someone else for your mistakes? I can assure you that before I would work for AAR I would take my capitalist ass somewhere else. The iam mechanics for US Air we’re making less than us prior to the merger and I don’t remember them blaming Tulsa for their plight. Look in the mirror if you can stand the view and you will see who to blame for your short comings and unhappiness. Been to hooters once and that’s because the high dollar hooker I was with wanted to say hi to her friends that worked there.

Im a little confused you slam tulsa then praise their overhaul. There are times you bring up good points and then other times you times you ask ignorant questions. Questions that if you had time with the twu and tried to educate yourself in the process should be familiar with. As far as liberal versus conservative would you actually vote for liberals like the "squad" .
No doubt A&P Mechanics as a profession would be much better off, have better career opportunities and advancement and be happier if they had never had unions, You guys are a highly skilled trained professional much like Engineers or Doctors and you don't need a union to divide, set up silos, protect the weak and kill almost all career and lifestyle related movement options.
Another good point. With the asso's rules the membership can still be by-passed by a vote and the international can sign off on an agreement EVEN IF the membership already voted it down (ie: TWU did to the AA'ers).
Just pointing out a fact here that our AMFA National can not do this. It is in the by-laws and the constitution that "ANY" and "ALL" changes to the CBA will be voted on by the entire membership in good standings, period. None of this go around BS like these industrial unions do, none of the back door deals done in private hotel rooms (that was for the teamsters and maybe the TWU at AA prior to Asso.) If you change one sentence in our contract, or even one word, after a new contract is completed and printed (as ours just was printed and passed out) the membership will vote rather to accept or decline such changes.
In other words guys, the union cannot just do what they want to do to benefit themselves. I know the drives are starting to pick up some more chatter so something to think about with AMP or AMFA as a choice...
So are you saying the same for the Pilots and F/A's? And all others who are represented by unions?? C'mon man...
This particular argument is not blaming Tulsa for our plight, but Buck should appreciate NY and CA mechs for him making as much as he is.
I’ll bkame the OH and vote NO know nothings for turning down the 2010 TA which has cost us $70k and 45 extra sick days not to mention holidays vacation personal days. Etc And that was 9 years ago, AA took what concessions they wanted anyway.
You really don’t need to replay, I’ll watch Sean Hannity and find out what he told you to think.
I don’t agree with the 787 comment, if AA didn’t want the 787 done in house, it wouldn’t be done in house.
Its too bad, the thread begins to lean into folks political views vs negotiations. And I'm not pointing the finger at you BJ, seems a few are getting into it.
Here..... Chew on this one a bit..

Read this yesterday and it makes some great points, especially how long this has taken and we are tired of hearing some progress has been made.
We need to hear next Friday that we have a TA.
Almost 4 years into this abortion it’s time to get something out of this merger and stop all the BS grandstanding and I say that to both sides
No worries .. in todays hyper partisan environment it's easy to see what divides us instead of what we have in common
