management ratios

[Tim Thorpe]

While all of the union employees posting on this board beat the tar out of each other. Let me ask a new question. What is a normal ratio of management to worker at a large corporation? I was on skynet looking through the peoplenet/reports pages. According to the active employees headcount as of 10-18-02 the maint ops division is right at 6:1 worker to management. Does this seem high to anyone else? The company as a whole is at about 9:1. I am counting salaried employees in the worker column.

I'm just curios about supervisor to mechanic ratio.

It's absolutely rediculous, they're tripping over themselves, are always in the way and interfere with those of us that have a job to get done. In Maintenance it's a real problem.

You sure your not talking about American Airlines? Boy this sounds too familiar. And to think they all want to reduce costs. Let this be a lesson to any AMT's that think pay cuts is the answer to saving your airline.

From what I recall, AA's mgr/mech ratio at TUL is around 16:1 for M&E, excluding the people in admin and planning. AFW is about the same.
