I was told that Yingst was sent back to his machinist position by Dale Danker the 514 president. Apparently he was scheduled for 2 days of union pay in ORD and he brought his wife along for a short vacation. The problem is that he and his wife took another 3 days at the locals expense that was not approved by the local. Basically you could say that he and his wife were stealing from the local. Also there has been members bitching at Danker for removing him. I guess these blind loyalists of Yingst have no problem being robbed by an elected official. How stupid can you be???? Several years ago he and his wife get drunk in first class on there way to Hawaii and have an argument that forces the pilot to try and remove his wife from the first class lav (The pilot was unsuccessful in removing her) and it gets covered up by the twu int and the company. The twu had to send a rep from the twu int to Hawaii to smoothed this over. Anyone one of us would have lost our jobs and also spent time in jail for this offense on an aircraft. If it weren't for a corrupt union he would have already been fired. I guess TSA picks and chooses who they prosecute.
Danker removes Yingst from office?

It's true about getting the boot from 514. Dunno the circumstances.
Last I heard he was banned from Hawaiian Air.
He was D. Buchettes VP at local 514 and even followed him into an international position. No surprise that the Intl. kicked em back to the curb. While in office Burchette was arrested for Domestic violence also way back when. Now in the last election Tule majority votes Yingst back in as VP. God help us.

I have a few friends in Tulsa. That said the people that voted for him where OSM and machinist. He only won buy a couple of votes after recount.
When you add in the LUS IAM people who will be voting WITH us, they are outnumbered even further.bigjets said:

I think you underestimate, yea the B cks are gone,(where once there were many) I check, most engine changes, etc etc, but, there is drop in work at the hangars that gets done, not on the magnitude as before, but its there, plenty of lighter checks, cards, mel clearing etc go on at both the line and the hangar. Don't forget how many flights the line operation gets through there every day. It a significant number. With all the pireps, fixes and mels. Its alot.dfw gen said:

TULE hangars 3B & 3C are currently performing 737 B checks. C checks begin in January 2016.Got word last week they're extending the 80's beyond December. We were supposed to have one HC left but they keep rolling in Hangars 3D, 3A and 4A. Making these future dock schedules look like a joke. Hangar 3C is now converted for 737 work. 3B is next.
