GP said in his video #3 on the TWU 591 website front page in his response to the membership collecting AMFA cards that the AMFA Organizer who put out a video himself to counter Samuelson's Raid video needs to check his facts.
GP said the TWU offered to pay or give money to the AMTAUSA an organization which was created by this AMT to promote the class and craft he feels strongly about and he refused to take them up on their offer. This AMT said he would take money for this cause from anyone. Watching this I am assuming the TWU wanted to take the credit for the Mechanical competition which the AMTAUSA conducts each yr. This is for all A&P's not just AA's TWU represented mechanics.
GP said that AA has a AMT award that is given to the TOP Mechanic at AA, and that should be renamed after Blackie. These are two seperate awards, 1.is for work at AA. 2. The Other is for the Team/individuals who compete in the contest run by the AMTUSA to promote AMT's.
I ask why hasn't the TWU gotten with AA to rename AA's AMT award also known as the Golden Wrench Award to the Al Blackman Award?
If you want to know about the Aircraft Maintenance Technicians Association go to their website as GP said do your own research.
