Yes there is. They work in a separate terminal. Not sure how many but I'm guessing less then TWU numbers.

Well it was less when they originally assigned the Stations to who would be their Masters.

Sorry Steve looks like no IAM hat for you.

Weez that info is old and from 2013. BOS will be both IAM and TWU.

I will tell you this about AMFA they talk a good game. If they are at a healthy company they can get you a descent contract. But if your company gets in trouble they will fight to the last day. Instead of working with management. They have no strike fund. Most of the dues money goes to the lawfirm Seham. Everytime you suggest to try to shop for a new lawfirm you will be shot down. It takes forever to get a full blown contract done. You guys would be better off, starting an independent mechanics union, ran by American Airlines mechanics, plus whatever work group you want to put in there. Just like our pilots have SWAPA.

That’s what I pay a union for to fight to the last day. The twu gave way to much up in 03. More then airlines did in bk. Then in 12 the twu gave away the rest of the store . If the twu would of put snap back in it but they didn’t even do that we gave and arpey and the upper management got there big bonuses. And befor the 03 deal carty was caught with a golden parachute , so if management was in that bad of shape in 03 they should of filed . The twu lies scared people into voting in both contracts .

The fight to the last day, is full pay to the last day. They would rather you lose your job, then you take a pay cut. So you kept your job with the TWU. Then they will walk away just like Northwest. I have friends that worked at both United and Northwest, ask them about AMFA, I rest my case.

Thanks Rez, I really don't have much contact or interaction with the IAM members except the Operations Agent who is set up in our Crew Chief/ Leads office. They work the D terminal and the TWU works in the T terminal. It's kinda messed up but it is what it is I guess.

Why do you keep misleading readers here by posting links to the PBGC, which has NOTHING to do with the IAMNPF? Could it be for Tim's political agenda?

The IAMNPF is covered by the PBGC please learn before you post and don't give bad info

we accrued another 9 years of pension time, by not filing.

i did lose $1,000 month off my pension, compared to aa not filing & freezing and me retiring at age 62.

but, if aa terminated the pension in 2003, i'd probably be getting $400 month from pbgc in the future and we'd have many more 71 y/o fscs limping around the ramp.

i voted no, but it didn't matter. i remember they made the flight attendants vote twice, until they got it right.

We have asked and talked to them. 99% say they were forced to strike by the co. because they were wanting to fire over 53% of the workforce. They also say, At least AMFA fought instead of caving in to the co's demands. When a co. is asking for over 53% of the workforce you are just asking for an overwhelming strike vote. It was all planned out by NWA management. What they found out was that it all did not turn out like they planned and NWA now no longer exist. You have no case to rest driver. Nice try though...

Thank goodness for that. Although I am hoping for a new TWU hat. Either 512, 513 or 568 because 510 has got to go, and imo asap

If that ever happens I’d guess it could be a toss up in geographic location between 513 and 568?

There was talk of consolidation but I haven’t heard much recently.

Got to finish the JCBA talks first I suppose?
