Lets compare good paying jobs lost. You lose. AMFA had over 20,000 members in 2004. Where did they all go? Are they all making the same or more as they were prior to losing their jobs to outsourcing? No. In fact most of them left the industry. Delle sure enjoyed that $500K plus goodbye retirement package he got when he left AMFA. What did all those members that believed his BS all those years and lost their jobs get?Last time I checked UPS and FEDEX didn't employ flight attendants.
Let's compare apples to apples.
AMT wages and benefits at passenger airlines.
AMFA vs TWU.
You lose.
The point is under the same conditions at the same airline the TWU has done far better at Southwest than AMFA. Again, if you had just maintained status quo AMTs to aircraft Southwest should have about 800 AMTs more than you have currently. You sold your members out by not locking in a percentage of work or dollars in house. Future work can go up but you only locked in a number of lines or a head count. AMFA didn't fight outsourcing at AS or UA when they had a scope clause in effect outside of BK. AMFA has a proven track record of rolling over on overhaul. So you can say you have the highest pay per AMT but the AMFA philosophy is to give away work to do it. What about some kind of balance? Your all or nothing mentality has driven the loss of over 80% of your membership. That's a big lose brother.
