I think this whole process with the formation of the Association with the IAM/TWU allowing this to happen reeked from the very beginning and I also believe that the TWU showed their true colors in not standing up for their members with certain aspects of this contract. Then there's Samuelson! Need I say more! From what I hear, United Airlines Maint.& Related are none too pleased with the Teamsters and are clearly watching what happens with AA. Couple that with a conversation I had with a Chief Pilot, the faster we can get "Our" own union in the better.......We need to make this happen, just as AMFA in Miami says. WAKE UP!
Yes, the United mechs are watching as well as Spirit mechs. Once AA pulls the trigger, United and Spirit will follow IMO. Spirit is already doing a card drive. So far I have only heard of "talk" as far as United is concerned, but like you said, they are waiting to see what AA mechs end up doing. If AA brings in AMFA United will do the same as well as Spirit. Spirit used the Horizon mechs coming into AMFA as their trigger to start their card drive. I was wondering who might file first, Spirit or AA mechs. So let the races begin. On your mark, get set, Goooooooo!!!
Let's not forget ......The Association/IAM adding a codicil to the TA that cancels the IAM medical if IAM members vote in AMFA and they go to the AA plan..... How does the IAM membership feel about that?Yes, the United mechs are watching as well as Spirit mechs. Once AA pulls the trigger, United and Spirit will follow IMO.
