Yes we do. No matter how you slice it, those jobs are gone from DTW.WorldTraveler said:We don't even know that DL is going to level DTW MTC since they have told employees a station is over as an incentive to get people to voluntarily bid out or take voluntary packages - without implementing a leveling process.
One similar to "adjusting," and "transitioning."Glenn Quagmire said:Level? What the hell kind of term is that?
My first station was like that. It was fantastic.Upset, tip over, scrape off, trim, how about what it really is...layoff.
Opening up the old NWA stations is a good thing. MSY was an early Delta station and a small NWA station.
All of those were high seniority NWA points. They had one guy on days/eves, and a small mid crew for overnight checks and A-Checks.
Those were the choice locations. You had to be a well rounded, self sufficient mechanic and group to survive those type stations. You had to be able to fix anything and everything, now.
The weak were rapidly weeded out of those places.
I was the senior lead at my last one. It was great. We accomplished more on one overnight check than I saw get done in a three-shift day in hangars. I liken it to a nascar pit crew. We were a very efficient team. Maintenance Control knew it and sent the work our way. Of course when it came time to cut, spreadsheet driven financial decisions ruled over subjective, sensible decisions.Kev3188 said:One similar to "adjusting," and "transitioning."My first station was like that.

Then DL will create a job, not needed, doing nothing and adding no value to the bottom line, in order to pacify that person!700UW said:And if a person doesnt decide to move to another station?
