We hear Overspeed and his cronies often say how even though we are at the bottom of the industry, have inferior workrules and benefits that the TWU has done a great job for AMTs because they claim that our sacrifices saved jobs. How do you feel? Do you feel that they saved our jobs or our careers?
There is no denying that AA employs more mechanics than any other airline, but is volume a substitute for quality?
