Plain Paper,I think you've hit the nail right on it's head! The company has had the resources,(money)for so long that it doesn't know how, or where, to cut back. Case in point. When A.A.came in here,(MCI)overhaul base,what did they do? They proceeded to strip us of all our "Old worn out tooling", that worked just fine thank you! I've seen more money throw away as scrap! It's attiude! TWA fixed things,built parts and tooling, because we couldn't afford new! A.A.,"Throw it out!" we'll replace it! O.K.! It's your ball game now! But,please don't come crying in my beer!
