Lets just call it tough love.
Ken, when you come to grips with the fact that I am a professional A&P Mechanic and if you absolutely insist, an AMT, equal to you. Then and only then can you make a difference in your chosen profession. That goes for all you other guys as well, this also includes you Princess. AMFA had the right idea but they blew it along time ago as has all the other unions. You guys are too worried about your little niches that have been left exposed and vulnerable. How do you correct this problem? Well at the current rate you guys are going you never will. Not in my lifetime or in yours. Yes Ken, Supply and Demand. I do not understand why you have such an issue with that. Increase the need for demand decrease the supply, now you have bargaining power. As of now you have no power at all and are being suckered by your companies and by the unions. Why would anyone in their right mind want to be a part of that? Tell me Ken where is the honor and integrity in getting screwed from both ends? Supply and Demand Ken is a natural thing that cannot be beaten. It is the law of economics. When are you guys going to learn to use that to your advantage?
I understand the situation to its fullest extent. I think you do as well, you just don’t want to admit it so you fool yourself into believing you are doing the right thing by supporting these failing unions.
