robbed, you use the term "hard working mechanics" a lot. Would you care to define hard working for me? I can only recall a very few that I have actually worked hard. This is the most laid back job I have ever had, I can't even imagine what it was like when there were more mechanics here. There is a mechanic here that spends at least three hours a day in the break room reading the paper and magazines, When it is time to go I often here him commenting to the next crew as to what a tough day he had. So if you would please explain exactly what hard working means.
Interesting point of view you have there PTO,
This is just the way it is.

wow! them scabs must be doing a hellva flawless job there at SCAB AIRThe following was copied from AMFA web site March update...
Anybody see, hear or care to respond:
The fact is Northwest Airlines recently lost another wheel assembly. A NWA jetliner was in transition from take-off mode into climb-out mode leaving Detroit Metropolitan Airport when a wheel assembly broke off from the aircraft it was designed to stay attached to. Thankfully this time, like last time, no one got hurt on the ground or in the aircraft. This time the NWA aircraft overtook the wheel assembly. The last time a wheel assembly broke off a NWA jetliner was on landing in Memphis and that wheel assembly actually passed the NWA aircraft it was designed to stay attached to. The next time something breaks off a Northwest aircraft due to improper maintenance (yes that’s a given), they might actually catch it before it hits the ground and breaks again!
SCAB maintenance or not, these incidents at NWA are becoming all to frequent. I hope it does'nt happen but The Law Of Average is not looking favorably folks.Yet another plane loses a wheel.....
Yesterday (07.April.06), flight 1876, a DC9-50 going MEM-IND, had to return to the field after losing one of it's main landing gear wheels....
