Glad to see the video I uploaded is making the rounds...

In Minnesota, I think there is something "magical" about the amount of the cuts. Here is a link with information: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getc...550&invol=1 " The term "lockout" is not defined in the Minnesota Economic Security Law, Minn. Stat. §§ 268.001 to 268.98 (1996 &...

1) However, the pilot's 38% cut wasn't all at once, was it? 2) After I posted earlier, I realized that I wasn't completely sure if the case applies to just union members on strike or people who quit over a 25% paycut. I believe it only applies to striking union members, but I am not entirely...

I would bet that the F/A's would not be eligible for unemployment benefits. One of the big things that won this appeal for AMFA was a precedent setting court case in which to workers of a company (I believe it was Sun Star Foods) were asked to take a paycut of 25% or more (I dont know the exact...

Just heard it on the news, confirmation on the F/A's website at nwaafa.org I hope the F/A's actually do something with this.

I guess I shouldn't be suprised at something like this coming from ScabAir, but I almost can't believe that a company would slap their employees in the face like this.

Here's some more info on the incident, form amfa33.org: A/C 6308 left Dtw after overnight 1/4 A check. #2 engine lost all oil. Shut down and dumped fuel and landed in MSP. I believe this happened on Thursday July 27th. MAG PLUG #3 BEARING SITTING IN REVERSER COWL. MAG PLUG HOUSING, FOUND...

Oh I can top THAT! Here's a video produced by NWA extolling the virtues of their in house mechanics from a few years ago(exact date unknown, has to be 1998 or later), with Tina Turner singing Simply The Best in the backround, entitled The Forgotten Mechanic...

Hey, you could buy all the equipment, set up a new shop, and hire back all the striking mechanics. :up: Think about it: a skilled workforce with tons of experience, and they already know how to use all the antiquated equipment NWA had :D

I'm stickin' with GFK, DC-9 w/ engine or landing gear failure.

It's not hard to figure out CSAR, there's this little thing called a SCAB list, giving you and all your little SCAB buddies there the recognition you and they deserve. You can find the one for your neck of the woods at http://amfa5.org/InsertScabs/Scabs.php My bet is that Frank Blazik is...

I'll take GFK. Brakes and/or enging problem on a DC-9.
