Another Case Of Aa Stupidity, Or Ignorance?

[MCI transplant]

<_< aa looses out on $$$$mils !!!! As told to me by a member of local management! It seems a number of 767,s have had problems with Phum ducting rupturing due to improper heat treatment! This problem was known by Boeing, and was being taken care of by Boeing under warrenty to the toon of a couple of $$$mil per aircraft! All ducting had to be removed, reheatreated, and reinstalled in aircraft! Well it seems one of the aircraft came into MCI, the paperwork was reviewed, and on the bottom it stated that that because aa didn't have the tooling, it was outsourcing this work to an outside vender! Well it seems we (TWA) had the same problem with our 747's! We tooled up and did all work in house! Our local management realised that equipmant was still in place here! From what I was told they made TUL aware of the fact that this could be a way to make some serious $$$! Two weeks later, aa came in and dismantaled that equipment! Nothing more was said!!!Go figure!!!!!!! :angry:

Let me guess.

There was a 5S/CI event done and the tooling was history?

That is plain wrong. If skilled AMTs in MCI can do the job... and make money for AA why was this not done? Couldn't the twu do something? Oh, wait. The twu cares about Tulsa only.

Correction: TWU cares ONLY about TWU and the monthly money machine call dues.

 

[Checking it Out]

What have you done to insure long term survival and the possibility of recalling members back to MCI? It's easy to complainand point fingers,

If you know about a problem that could create work than stand up and do something about it!!! One thing I have learned, Don't stop at the first closed door.

I believe the membership gave 17.5% - 38% of their wages and benefits!


The TWU creates work by lowering wages and benefits. The members are tired of the concessions why not have those who the members pay dues to do something about it?
