Oh stop crying about me referring to fleet as bag smashers they've been called that ever since I've been here and and sure before that

 

[enough already]

I had a yes voter say today, "that's a lot more than they said there was gonna be!" I just bit my tongue....

These are difficult times for all of us at American Airlines, it is clear that the headcount reductions exceed what the TWU leadership lead us to believe both here in Tulsa and in the rest of the system. It is time that we the membership replace the TWU as our union representative, and changing to another Industrial Union like the Teamsters will lead to more of the same. It is time we choose AMFA to represent our profession. The concessions for jobs approach has already failed us more than once, and the time for change is now.

Unfortunate but this layoff will make the card drive pretty complicated. I signed but will be RIFed and giving up recall so this is going to be a huge headache for ya. And I'm sure the company/union will use it to there advantage. But good luck to you guys I have much respect for the guys like you that have put in so much time and money for something they believe in.
