Dave your stetching in this example! Did amfa file for a representative election at United prior to this time frame? And are you trying to deceive us into believing the amfa wannabes prior to United BK had no influence!
The members are smart enough to see thru your attempt at deception!
CIO, I have undisputed FACTS backing my position on the UAL Time Line and proving that the IAM was indeed the union on the property. Show us your facts, that AMFA was involved. You have NO FACTS do you? Just common liberal lies to generate fear amongst the unknowing.

April 3, 2003, IAM Settles contract dispute over the Indianaplois Base Closure.
Indianapolis Base Closure Agreement
April 3, 2003 - District 141-M of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) announced an agreement today with United Airlines to settle a contract dispute over the airline's decision to temporarily close its Indianapolis Maintenance Center.
The settlement provides for severance pay as described in the current contract, the opportunity to transfer to another United location and moving expenses for employees choosing to do so. More than 1,400 IAM members at the Indianapolis facility faced the loss of these rights under United's claim that 'force majuere' circumstances allowed them to place employees on limited "No Work" status rather than traditional furlough status.
"The war with Iraq can not be used as an excuse to deny established contract rights," said District 141-M President Scotty Ford. "Changes in the way United operates may be needed, but those changes must come through negotiations and ratified agreements, and not by unilateral decisions."
On March 26, 2003, the IAM filed a motion in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana seeking a preliminary injunction against United Airlines. The motion will be withdrawn due to this settlement.
"The strength of our Union made this settlement possible," said Ford. "We will continue to negotiate with United Airlines to help this airline survive while we preserve the extremely important protections our agreement provides."

UNITED AND IAM RATIFICATION
United Airlines Comments on the Ratification of Wage and Work Rule Agreements by IAM District 141, IAM District 141-M and the Association of Flight Attendants
CHICAGO, April 30, 2003 -- UAL Corp. (OTCBB: UALAQ.OB) the parent company of United Airlines, commented today on the ratification of six-year agreements on wage and work rule changes by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 141-M, the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) District 141 and the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA).
The agreements provide the significant labor-cost savings, productivity enhancements and modifications to scope clauses that will give United the financial and operational flexibility it needs to succeed now and in the future.
"Four months ago we set several goals: to reach consensual agreements on cost savings with all of our unions, to improve productivity, and to lay the foundation for a more competitive, flexible and efficient airline," said Glenn F. Tilton, chairman, president and chief executive officer of UAL. "With today's ratifications, we have achieved all of those goals. And parallel to these efforts, we have been running an airline that customers say has improved its service considerably.
"With this critical milestone behind us, we can now move quickly to implement the ratified changes in all of our labor agreements," continued Tilton. "I want to express my sincere appreciation to all
the members of the AFA, IAM District 141, and IAM District 141-M for making the successful future of this airline - and ultimately the future of all its employees - the number one priority. I appreciate
the tough choices and sacrifices all our employees are making to help ensure United emerges from bankruptcy and succeeds for the long-term."
The new contracts will be submitted today, April 30 to the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for approval.
IAM District 141-M represents United employees who provide maintenance, maintenance instructor and ground school instructor services to the company, as well as utility workers. IAM District 141 represents United's public-contact, ramp, food-service, security and other employees.
United operates more than 1,500 flights a day on a route network that spans the globe.
