A quote from the article in the Tulsa World today entitled-

Past TWU concessions concern AA employees
"There is definitely a change in mood -- not just in our membership but in all American employees who are starting to see some hope," Burchette said. "In 2003 and 2004 we didn't know if we were going to make it. Delta (Air Lines) was a hell of an airline -- look what happened to them. Northwest Airlines was a hell of an airline -- look what happened to them.

"Now people have hope. We have an obvious direction here in Tulsa. The company has posted a couple of profitable quarters. We have some money in the bank. You see people working together now. We're starting to work together as a team."

There was also another quote that burchette said but was edited from the article. Basically burchette, in a fit of wisdom, informed the reporter that AMTs living outside of Tulsa have a choice. They can either live where they currently do or move to Tulsa. Call Mr. Stewart to confirm this if you wish.

Gee, what wisdom. All this knowledge coming from a guy that was elected, oops, APPOINTED into the international where he was able to actually drink from the Dark Chalice of Greed. Only to leave.

Hey burchette, I have news for you. AMTs have always worked together. THAT is how aircraft are repaired correctly. THAT is a maintenance team. What team are you talking about? The concession team? Team bubba? Team mechanics who took a pay and benefit cut or team twu international who DID NOT take pay & benefit cuts? Or perhaps you mean team roll call vote? You want to have hope? How about thinking about EVERYBODY on the team? Not just Tulsa.

Well ken, I guess Mr. Burchette is only applying what you promote.
It goes something like this, see below


"I will act if what I do makes a difference"

Ya but the only difference is in whom these two guys are trying to make the difference for, Birdshet has turned into a straw boss for the man and promotes managements wishes and Ken promotes the class and craft of the aircraft mechanic.

True. burchette is promoting the company at the expense of AMTs. And he is getting paid to do it.
