<_< ------The TWU probably would want a piece of that action!!!Let's all hope that "child representation" does not prevail.
Duke ask yourself if you are willing to accomplish more work than you're doing now for less than $20 an hour, no benefits, no retirement, no protections, no nothing, just a flat 18-20 bucks an hour. Oh ya, and if we don't like you or your production today, get your #### and get out you're fired. Now ask for your seperate contract for OH. Obviously you have never experienced the world of contract MX. LMAOE, is there some reason why AA would choose to dump the OH like they are doing? My thinking is they should come up with a separate contract for OH and even turn it into a separate company from AA but underneath AMR kind of like Eagle. MRO is a big industry AAR, Timco, Luftansa technik can make money at it, why couldn't a AMRMRO? They have an experienced work force and infrastructure already setup.
What don't I know that is keeping AMR from doing that? There has got to be a reasonable explanation.

I don't know - so I'm just guessing. Delta runs a huge MRO but still outsources much of its heavy airframe overhaul, and DL is nonunion. AFAIK, the stateside MROs are all nonunion. Dunno about Central America, but if the stories of Salvadorans working for $5/hr (with licenses) and $2/hr (helpers) are true, nobody can compete with that.What don't I know that is keeping AMR from doing that? There has got to be a reasonable explanation.
E, is there some reason why AA would choose to dump the OH like they are doing?
From the 737 managers communications you would think we are an MRO. He indicated he "bid" on the 73 work and expects to get it. As has been mentioned before, if manAAgement had any leadership skills this whole base would be a money maker.Dunno. Nobody in the US has successfully spun out an in-house maintenance shop into their own MRO.
Isn't that what they want? Just enough turnover to keep enough skill to train the new hires while keeping the average wage down. In 03 all their AMT's were topped out creating a non-sustainable wage scenario. To bad few of us had the foresight to leave at that time as opposed to now, being well into our 50's......, wouldn't it be just a bit ironic if AA wound up having to hire off the street after all this?...
Most of us know what we're up against and have seen it coming for years. I said years ago the TWU has nothing to bargain with, since by nature they harbor and promote a membership disrespectful of authority with low ethics in regard to productivity, accountability, and attendance habits. There are exceptions so don't flame out if you hold yourself to a higher standard. The blame lies at the feet of an inept and undisciplined manAAgement team and I fear without the sheer will of the membership to turn things around there will be no getting out of this jam.I wonder if we are collectively capable of understanding what we are really up against and how we could get ourselves and the future of overhaul out of this jam?
Retirement.When you say "ready to go" are you saying go on their own? If so, wouldn't it be just a bit ironic if AA wound up having to hire off the street after all this?...
