BROKEN PLANES

[HARDWORKINGAIRLINEWORKER]

Is it me or does NW seem to be having a lot of broken planes lately at MSP? In other words I fuel the plane put 30 grand on the plane and then the plan is going out of service. This has happened several times this week and no I the fueler didn't break the plane.

Our experts are no longer there. It is not the same company with out our mechanics. :angry:

We had to get rid of them in order to "reward" Sen. NW Management with $400 million. (this coming from a company that "couldn't survive with out bankruptcy). This crooked judicial system and government is a Banana Republic.

To try to answer your question, I have to ask one. What was the aircraft type? It is possible that they wanted 30K pounds of fuel to Ferry the Bird to a ROV vendor for a C check. I doubt the Scabs could handle that.... B)

Exactly.

Maybe they should have made the new inflight uniforms match the orange MEL stickers or the red "Unserviceable" tape.

I figured it was contracted out. Dam Mechanic come asking me how to transfer fuel on 757. Even though I transferred fuel at Ual(we did are own planes until they contracted that out). We aren't allowed to do it here only the supervisors. I tell him we aren't allowed to do it. This cat gets a attitude big time. If you are a mechanic you should have some idea how to transfer fuel.

A319 going somewhere near the east coast.

I agree with you.

That wasn't a mechanic you were talking to, that was an opportunist who was a career reject until NWA came calling for SCABS. Despite having little experience, and even less common sense, that loser jumped at the chance and NWA greeted him/her with open arms. So do yourself a favor next time some SCAB asks you how to do their job, give them the middle finger salute. <_<

I resemble that remark! 😀

Last time I checked, mechanics *are* supposed to know how to XFR fuel and/or do alternate fueling (aka "stick testing").

Another year.. passes...
Just want to say scabs be dammed....
Merry Christmas to all the "old" forum buddies....
And a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous (as prosperous as an airline worker can be) New year.

They're hirning more geniuses again. We were sitting up front getting some breifing from the pilots when a couple of them came on. Then they came back to us and asked where door 3 was. Ok let's count.... the first door... second door.... third door.... ooha aah ah ah! fouth door....YOU WENT TO FAR. I'd give them the benefit of the doubt if they didn't know where A/C L or R was but DOORS? Come on! Even after we told them to "count" When we went back to our doors, they were standing confused at door 4. Where are they getting these people from? :huh: 😛h34r:
