Yes local you are very much correct. We are all work at will Scabs. Each and every one of us are fully aware of that. I think the problem is that Northwest has yet to understand that fact. We are all individuals that are here for one purpose, which is to work and make money for our families. If any one individual decides that NWA is failing to meet his needs he will quit and move on with out a care in the world. Within the next two months I suspect that another fifteen to twenty percent of the Scabs will quit. There is no crying going on here local just research for the next job to make the jump to. I get more and more request from the guys if they can come over and borrow my laptop to search for another job.Oh thats right your an at will worker, without a contract or rights

Complaining? Is that what you think I am doing here? I am not complaining, local. I am simply posting about on going events at Northwest Airlines. What I post here are simply hot topics of shoptalk and correcting you guys when you start your Scab bashing.

More like you coming here and having your obvious ignorance of both aircraft maintenance, and the industry in general, exposed for our collective amusement.

I did say that but it was not in the context of a complaint. I was simply stating how the guys were feeling about the six day work weeks. I consider myself a kinda go with the flow type of guy but these six day weeks are having an effect on me as well. I was typing out loud I guess you could say but it was by no means meant as a complaint. Please let me demonstrate a PTO complaint...
PTO: Hey Mgr do you know what this is?
Mgr: That is a torque wrench with a 3/4 head.
PTO: Yes it is but you are only half right, you see when you are done with a tire change and it is time to remove the jack and the jack won't lower below the jackpoint to get it out, you turn it around like this and wedge it between the axle and cylinder of the jack and stand on it like this. You see it’s a jack removal tool as well.
Mgr: WHO DOES THAT?!!!
PTO: The question is who doesn't do that? We really do need a good pry bar or better yet a jack that lowers pneumatically.
Mgr: I'll call the tool crib at the hanger. You guys quit using this as a pry bar.
We didn't get a pneumatically lowering jack but we did get a fine pry bar.

I sincerely hope that it is just an example pulled from the file of PTO exagerations. If in fact this actually occured, is it any wonder tires are falling off The NWA fleet?
A Calibrated torque wrench used for a pry bar...
so much for calibration!What a bunch of backwoods jack a$$ Hacks you SCABS are!

I was putting the hubcap back on when I saw this very act being performed. I just shook my head and brought it to managements attention. It was indeed an actual conversation.

Well at the very least you brought it to managements attention. However someone should self disclose to the FAA that its possible NWA aircraft tires may not be properly torqued due to damaged and uncalibrated torque wrenches.
Just a thought... :blink:

You just proved our (the honorable, well trained, professional mechanics) points. You SCABs probably never used anything bigger than a bottle jack in your whole careers and now you are working on (and screwing up) the big birds and you don't even know how to lower a jack!! You're asking for a prybar LOL...LOL...LOL. Any one of us at DTW who have changed a wheel knows how to lower the jack... Too bad we not in the mood to help you SCABs out..keep using the torque wrench or the "NEW prybar your so proud of. LMAO...ROFLMAO
