This is for all the NWA mechanics who think UAL mechanics at SFO engine shop are "back stabbers" or "cowards" or only out for "themselves". We (UAL)have been asked by NWA to overhaul all thier PW2000 engines. This would mean at lot of work for us and the possibility of many mechanic recalls. However, many of us considered this as "struck work" and said NO!!!! It seems UAL AMFA mechanics have more balls than some NWA mechanics (scabs). See post on AMFA Local 9. Northwest Airlines Engine work – As briefed at several shop representative meetings and May’s membership meetings, Northwest asked that United Services submit a bid to work all of their PW2000 engines. UAL Management asked AMFA if we still considered these engines struck work. We wanted to get the surrounding information related to this bid so we could make an informed decision and not one based solely on emotion. Our duty to the members at UAL demands that we do not shoot from the hip when making any decision and this was no different. After careful consideration and consultation with the National Executive Council and the NWA strike Committee, it was decided that while it would be preferred that this work stays at an AMFA represented carrier, in the end the work is still struck work. UAL was notified of our position and this should close the matter.

or anything, but these are two different airlines. With UAL management attempting to become an MRO, they have to forced to honor AMFA's Scab Air strike. :blink:
