NWA has laid off thousands of IAM workers too. Why would they want the IAM back?My World said:I'll bet the laid off people at NWA were wishing the IAM was back.

The same goes for those formerly "system protected" TWU members who were laid off. The company has announced that they are not replacing those who are retiring or quitting.Drip E. Kwill said:Actually the furloughed personnel from both AMFA repped UAL and NWA do not see themselves returning to their airline. They were not furloughed because of traffic slowdown, they were furloughed due to their jobs going overseas and to 3rd party vendors in the US.
Most have already crosstrained to another profession, knowing their job is gone forever. Alas, even those AMFA organizers are gone...they sold their jobs down the road. Hey!...We have a 38% cap...yahoooooo...shoot up a flare! We showed them! *sarcasm of course*
Now there would be a cost cut that might help lower our CASMBob Owens said:..........AA is, as far as I know, the only airline that pays union officials over $3 million a year.
We're still waiting on proof of the paid $3.1 million you keep talking about Bob. Not just what Bob says that makes it true!!! Come on buddy, give us something solid, tangible, that can without a doubt be proven!!! Your hypothetical nonsense regarding the Vermont Plan means nothing. You're just trying to spread more untruths to benefit your cause. Everyone knows that the company reimburses. There are a lot of union officials throughout the system Bob.Bob Owens said:That depends on how you look at it. That $3.1 million got them over $600 million a year in savings! A 20000% return!!

How's that investigation going that you got started with the DOL????? Wasn't there someone else you called and "told"???? Heard back from them yet????
He was pretty stupid showing up there because that is an AMFA dock!!!!!Buck said:Kevin Hammack did show up on 4A the other day, but supervision ran him off.
He was campaigning for local union office on company time.
I saw all of this from my Crew Chief position where I had my feet on the desk.
Stupid??? Why would it be stupid?? I guess Hammack has more balls then you do huh Radman???!!!Radman said:He was pretty stupid showing up there because that is an AMFA dock!!!!!
We all know that most of the wannabes are on 4A Buck. Isn't that where you are? I was merely pointing out a fact to Mr. Radman. Their amfa support is not as strong as you think it is!! Not all of them, but some. Geez, are you always this slow?? Well of course you are. Aren't you the one who sits at his crew chief's desk with his feet up??Buck said:OK........
Not all of those TWU supporters on 4A are as supportive as you think!! Think about that one!!!
What does that mean?
I just left that dock a few months ago!!! I know who is who is not and who is iffy about AMFA on that dock. The VAST majority are AMFA. You know it is real funny that the dock I am on now is over 95% AMFA (and they are solid). Ewe need to wake up bill because ewe have been eating to much SHEEP food. Ewe may want to check in with your herder. By the way ewe is pronounced just like the word YOU.Bill said:Stupid??? Why would it be stupid?? I guess Hammack has more balls then you do huh Radman???!!!
