Rumor mill says that the less than one year new manager at AFW is gone to DFW!!! My company although they spent time effort and BIG money on the BCG consultants and held many alphabet soup groups trying and deciding how to disseminate company information to the company employees,took polls and patted them selves on the back for 3 years of effort told themselves company communications and info are now on track and we the workers are now informed!!!! I have to ask does anyone know if Blair Gregg has moved to DFW???..........Thank you!!!
 
Yes it is true.. Gregg has taken over for Durst at DFW... We don't know much about this dude but the issues I've heard are not good..

No Prob though.. We chew'em up and spitt them out reasonbly quick here in the Big D...

Since Judge left, we've been through five South District Maintenance Managers..

What can you tell us about Gregg?
 
<_< ------- Hmmm! That was the first thing that happened here at MCI before the start up of our "downsizing". Probably no connection! :unsure:
 
Mr Blair (Witch Project) Blair (also known as the WARDEN, due to a comment he made in a mtg with TAESL mgt, "Are you letting the INMATES run the Prison?") will ask EVERYONE for their problems, peeves and pains (3P). He will ask for viewpoints on the 3Ps to mgt, union and workers. Then he will float corrective suggestions to the various groups. That is when he will start cutting down the forrest to eliminate a few trees. For example: C/C could not get QA to perform inspections within an hour of their clock out time, while the crew waited on the plane, usually for the NEXT shift of inspectors ( alot of LOST TIME!). The Warden's solution: Have sister docks clock in/out at the SAME TIME, along with QA, stores and support shop personnel! Talk about a MESS IN THE PARKING LOT! 2nd shift parks BEYOND first shift, causing a L O N G walk ( we walk for an HOUR more a week). Plus the fact he installed hand reader timeclocks in each work area, so one HAS to get to their timeclock, ON TIME! Result: RLs out the WAZOO! The Warden is a STICKLER for AA's RULES of CONDUCT. Sorry guys, NO MORE NAP TIMES! HE HAS WALKED OUT PEOPLE FOR SLEEPING! (at all hours) He got rid of the 4/10 work shifts because they were NOT PRODUCTIVE! TAESL AMTs turned down overtime IN PROTEST, thus the Production Goal for the year WAS NOT ATTAINED! (Maybe your DOUBLE DOUBLE SINGLES ARE GOING AWAY) That's the REAL REASON for his exodus.

DON'T wear an ORANGE T shirt saying " AFW INMATE "! He is a stickler for UNIFORMS. The Warden asked our Local 567 President to sign an agreement for everyone at AFW to wear LINE MAINTENANCE UNIFORMS! To our President's Credit, he said "After TULE gets/wears uniforms, then AFW personnel will also"! We were told that each AMT was to get, at AA's expense, 5 shirts and NO PANTS. That is a real HALF-ASSED PLAN.

GOOD LUCK!
 
Thanks for the info BZ…….

This has all the elements of an interesting relationship.. Mr. Lyons learned early on in his tenure here that DFW ops is a very very visible operation. Line Maintenance endures a completely different mindset than overhaul.. We average between 45,000 to 68,000 passengers a day traveling through Big D.. Up 700 flights..

When you disrupt DFW, it collaterally disrupts the whole system. Domestic and International...

Moral is currently at an all-time low, due stalemate negotiations and contract concessions, Adding a rogue management factor will insure McDonalds sells a lot more hamburgers in the terminal.

Durst, Lyons, Valerotti, Mangonni, and with a little persuasion, Slakey have realized this concept..

I’m sure Mr. Gregg will be totally compatible with Line Maintenance Ops after an “adjustment periodâ€￾

Thanks for the heads up..

Keep You Posted
 
That is correct we get the warden. But like all other goof balls we get they try change here and unlike the bases we can delay the metal not just one but 20 to 30 in a complex. he wont last long when the boys above him find out the the inmates are not happy. It is a little harder for the bases to accompolish this when your plane is there for 2 weeks.



oh by the way lyons to run afw in case u did not know

AA has a seemingly endless supply of halfwits, dimwits, and nitwits who are set loose to do the same things that have failed miserably in the past, yet a different outcome is expected each time.

This is the classical definition of insanity, boys and girls.

This continuing saga says volumes about the quality of personnel sought out for all levels of management by those "in charge" of the corporation, and says even more about those "in charge".

I feel like I'm being paid to watch a continuous showing of the "Three Stooges" (or however many of the twits there actually are).
