No Buck, I work @ MCIE, well, for another 2 weeks...but we have never really worked for AA, or had the use of the full TWU contract.
And really Buck..I do not concern myself with you, as you have never concerned yourselves with us, nothing lost here. Now go have yourself a great TWU future!

There you go again. Hey, we tried to warn you guys, but you guys chose to side with Little, Gless, and Luby.
Two of us from New York even flew out there to talk to you guys but your E-board flipped. We told them that they were welcome to do the same in NY and that we asked Butch first. We didnt just show up. The few R&F guys we did meet, including at least one Shop Steward were very friendly and receptive. Maybe they were some of the No votes.
I saw Littles latest scam where he claims that he was on your side in the recent Kasher decision. Sure, let the company be the bad guy, this way they wont have to worry that you guys are signing AMFA cards on the way out. The fact is they hoodwinked you. I have little doubt that he was lying. Little had it within his power to dovetail you like they chose to do with AirCal but he chose not to. They never asked the membership if AirCal should be stapled or dovetailed, they simply did it. If they had how do you think the members would have voted? Asking the membership was simply a away of avoiding the blame and dividing them.
Little and Luby put in language to deny you carrying your seniority.
Under the old contract Article 1 stopped at (d) which is now (e). All the other stuff, (g), (h),(i),(j),(k) and (l) were added in 2001. Articles (h) (i) (j) and (k) were added specifically to block you guys from getting dovetailed and Luby (working under Little) was the one who put it all together and presented it.
Gless was also involved in all that too.
Remember that as they act like they care.
You accuse Buck of not having any concern for you but the fact is he is one of the few who were saying that you should be dovetailed. In fact the only ones that were saying that were AMFA supporters out of Tulsa.
I'll admit, I was against it. But for Little to claim that he was neutral or on your side is nothing but a lie.
So if you are pissed and feel screwed then why not fill out a card? This way you can help the TWU to lose 16000 members, Luby is already gone, Gless admitted that if maintenance left that he would lose his $120,000/yr job and have to go back to the floor and after losing a big chunk of the ATD Little could find himself being challenged by the SWA flight attendants at the Convention this fall. Maybe he could end up back on the floor too. In the meantime we would still be stuck with this contract till 2008, or 9. So your filling out a card would not immediately benifit those who still work at AA, would support the only people who pushed for dovetail, and could send those in power, who really screwed you, back to the floor to work amongst the same people they screwed over.
What do you have to lose? If you dont think AMFA will do anything for us then why would you want to prevent us from going there?
