unfortunately we have the same problem as you. And our union the IAM is not enforcing the contract through arbitration. Never has. That is why this company continues to do anything and everything it wants to do, whether we have a contract or not. The employees have no voice and no power on this...

We hear PIT will be down to 50 flights in October and just a dozen or so come January and MDA is looking more and more like CLT. Also throw in our Maintenance base going to IND. Our Airbus work is going to go to outsiders because our union forgot to put in black and white language. Scotty''s...

RJ hub flying is a model that continues to fail. American can''t make a red cent with the RJ''s and ATR''s flying out of hubs. Once again, reinventing the wheel. Until we forecast the traveling public correctly we will be destined to get the snot beat out of us by the SWA of this world. love

Over at the American Airline link on US AVIATION a thread about the conflict of interest of someone who was on the American Arbitration Assication which conducted their vote was tied into some confidential papers in contract form with American. And her name is also mentioned as one of those who...

Sincere: without deceit or pretense; truthful. Once again the workers get fooled by fear and the inept ability of the unions to cover all bases. I certainly hope there is some group that is organized enough to say 'no' to the veiled corporate greed. The workers at my company, US AIRWAYS...

Hoffa is scrambling in a move that is strictly political. What AFA member will want to join the IBT when the IBT's own flight attendants want out of the IBT? On Monday I read that, 8,000 NWA flight attendants put in enough authorizations to the NMB to get rid of the IBT and a new vote will be...

the convention for 141M was canceled. I heard most of the Locals are broke. I wonder what will become of 141M once the United Airline Mechanics pull out.

Lavman, It's amusing that the Toy union with Roach is already using rhetoric. Maybe if the IAM started representing people instead of themselves then there wouldn't have been a rival raid. love

a 70% card signup? WOW! Looks like the IAM is gone over there. love

Why would any mechanic want to keep the IAM? This question has nothing to do with AMFA, just why would any mechanic or even a ramper want to keep the IAM? They are doing an absolutely horrible job.

at least one published report on The_mechanic web site said that some union officials of the IAM were mentioned as a suit against by IAM members at United regarding the ESOP. They have attorney berman who filed the suit. Yes, the same berman who won big settlements against Enron, Exxon...

It is nice to know that US AIRWAYS said the Carribbean is profitable. Is it because of the ticket price? Or are we just more competitive with these routes with the US AIRWAYS Vacations marketing?

No worry. The unions at United praised Wolf, Greenwald, Goodwin and now Tilton. Tilton and the AFA will take care of you. love
