I've got skills. The thought of making 2/3rds of what we are making here kinda sucks. Like they say one door closes and another opens. I hope it all works out for the best for EVERYONE.

Saying this isn't a line verses OH debate is BS. Vote no and OH goes away asap. Vote yes some in OH keep their jobs a few more years. Either way you line guys will be granted your long awaited wish, OH is going away sooner or later. But don't think for a minute those boys in the UK or Germany can't do A checks. A no vote will only cover your line mech. butt for so long.

The only one making this a line/OH issue is the TWU. Why are you mad at the line guys? Are they the ones laying anyone off? You should blame the company and unite with us on the line and VOTE NO!!!Has the TWU forgotten about the 450 jobs on the LIne and the possible 1700 in AFW. Have you asked yourself how there can be such a different point of view between the Local presidents.I can just say Little knows where to get votes.

Then you have Hewitt saying the company is committed to saving jobs.The only thing the company is committed in doing is getting rid of O/H. Is this commitment in writing? Have you read it? I have not!!

I guess you get who you vote for!!

I understand, not much beats a $65k a yr do nothing job. (at least where I'm at!!) but sometimes ya gotta "Man Up"!!

I'll keep my pride, Strake. There are a lot of companies seeking A&Ps out in GA world. Or you could get some balls and and IA, hang out a shingle and work for a living. It's an option.
