Just curious is it the people in Overhaul that you don't like or is it the actual state itself. I can understand you not liking the local or the people at the overhaul station, ....but the state itself :unsure: If it is the state what is it that you dislike so much about Oklahoma, that you...

ARE YOU NUTS :unsure: My god man do you realize what you are saying. :shock: Ok I will admit that Hawaii is better than Tulsa and I would take it over Tulsa if I could afford to live there, I did live there for 3 years when I was in the Military and it was pretty great. and I will also...

I have done some Military time myself (Army helicopter Mechanic) and I think Tulsa is great, what could we possibly need here to raise a family that we don't have. We have restraunts, clubs, lakes, Rivers, Waterfalls, zoo's, hunting, fishing, Livestock, horses, cows, chickens. Union's :angry...

I certainly would never leave Tulsa, not because of family but because I was born here and like it here, I would leave AA long before I would leave Tulsa.

I take it you don't work for AA either :unsure: Does anyone on this AA board ACTUALLY work for AA :unsure: Think about this there are some 80,000 people working for AA, there are maybe 30 people on this AA board and it appears that half of them don't even work for AA, so that leaves maybe 10...

Is is Albert ? Not sure it is not a very good picture. So you are telling me that you do not work for AA but you are on an AA board :lol: since you do not work for AA you cannot be fired by AA and there is very little chance of anyone from AA knowing who you are and you still are afraid to...

Why Apologize its not like anyone knows who you are. After 20 years of being one of the Minority, I am finally one of the Majority. :up: I guess it just took me a while to see the same light as the rest of the Majority. :rolleyes: I don't know what we will get on this next contract but...

It was not intentional, I did not even know there was a link until your second post, I did go to the link just now and it looks like there are a whole lot of folks that do not care about being called scabs in fact most of them are smiling, I can't help but wonder if they are smiling about their...

There you go hurting my feeling again with your rediculous union names. :lol: :lol: Everyone already knows my name and where I work remember, it is you that must hide behind the curtain because you don't have the courage to come out from behind it, but you would like us to believe you do...

Many Mechanics like to compare our pay to UPS and of course we are not a cargo company so you really can't compare the two, in an attempt to make my point to a fellow Mechanic in the shop, I pulled up UPS Ceo total compensation to compare it to AMR total compenstation, I was expecting to find...

You have a good point they might buy off on it, but someone has to put the offer in front of us first so far the only contracts I have seen are ones with all Mechanics making the same pay. Why do you think that is ? It has to be the Negotiating committee not wanting the line to make more than...

More likely I would walk over you, if you were BRAVE enough to give your real name like some of the rest of us but hey what can I expect from a tech2101 :lol: :lol: Courage NO If you are not Brave enough to give your real name you damn sure are not brave enough to go on strike, so who are...

No actually what I am saying is what I said and that is AA compares as an overall company much more closely to the top big 5 Airlines United, Continental, Delta, and Northwest. Our cost's, size and expenses are closer to matching those Airlines, that is all I am saying and those are the 4...

I meant #2 compared to the big 5 which are AA, Continental, Delta, Northwest, United, In my opinion these are the Airlines that we actually compare too, you know Apples to Apples Oranges to Oranges the other Airlines are smaller and do not do their own Overhaul work, that does make a...

The company has a new Negotiations website that gives pay rates for the Airlines at present but not benefits yet. http://www.aanegotiations.com/MechanicsWagesACMech.asp WN is Southwest B6 is Jetblue FL is Airtran No one seems to know what the MRT of .50 is so I am not sure if anyone is...
