Nothwest Sues Scamfa

[PlayTheOdds]

I don't own any stock with a single aviation company. I bought Wal-Mart. Now that I own Wal-Mart I think I will give myself a 100% discount from now on when I go shopping there. Then when they don't give me my money back when I return my purchases I'll start chanting and run around in circles in the parking lot. Then I'll start taking pictures of all the Wal-Mart people and tell people what thugs they are and tell them how Wal-Mart is to blame for my pitiful sad life.

Are you ever happy? Are you satisfied with your life? You sure do come across to me as a MISERABLE person that hates life and hates themselves. Do you really think AMFA is going to win this strike?

Are you? Princess comes here as a means to communicate with others to try and make things better. Why are you here? You are trying to make things worse. That says a lot about you. So dont bother with the pittiful psycological jabs.

Back to the topic: Northwest shoots self in head, film at eleven.

There is little doubt that the lawsuit filed by NWA against AMFA is an attempt at intimidation and harassment.

While no one actually thinks it is going anywhere, it creates an opening to force some NWA and FAA Executives into depositions that could prove interesting.

Testimony by an FAA Air Carrier Inspector reassigned by the FAA at the request of NWA regarding contentions that the FAA is refusing to enter into an electronic database some 500 reports of deficient NWA aircraft maintenance will make priceless footage.

Testimony from striking AMFA Mechanics that possess film of SCABS hiding half-empty beers behind trash cans along with the testimony of the Cop that saw this all happen should be big box office.

Testimony and cross examination of officials from both NWA and the IAM should set the stage for a counter lawsuit by AMFA against both due to the "bad-faith" negotiations, providing big-time returns.

And to think, NWA brought this all on themselves.

It is a simple move to consume resources that AMFA cant afford.

PTO,
I hope you're a better mechanic than you are a tactician, but that statement doesn't lead me to believe it.

NWA states in their suit that AMFA is compromising safety: it opens up all parties to questioning along those lines.

So what if it does? NW can afford it AMFA can't.

So now your also an expert on the finances of AMFA as well as being a scab mechanic? Talk about a jack of all trades you seem to be quite qualified in many areas, whats next management? I'd say your well qualified for management because you think you know everything but in reality you know little just like steenland and roberts.

Don't bet on it.

The word from inside NWA is that the finances are getting so tight, and the strike expenses so high, that paying for the scabs hotels and transportation will be coming to an end very soon.

Every one knows AMFA is broke. That is nothing new.

Once again do you really think NW is financing this alone?

Yet AMFA's reports to their members and their audited filings with the US DOL show them to be quite solvent.

NWA's filings with the SEC show a quite different picture, as do their increasingly strident bankruptcy warnings.

Everybodys pitching in to help the guys at AMFA. I would imagine the the majority of the guys out would have lined up even a menial job by now to keep some income coming in. It's NWA whos got the real problems. Tell me again how much money was outsourcing 2000 guys was going to save? How much have they spent on this nonsense? When Lorenzo did this most carriers were healthy, the whole industry is on life support now. And unlike the AA sick-out by the pilots, this is a legal job action.

You forget that AMFA still has dues coming in from other carriers. So even if there is no money in the till this month, there will be the next.

The fact is that since AMFA does not have a strike fund-which ends up being a target for crooked Judges (the best strike fund is to encourage your members to put away a good part of their paycheck while working-the Judge cant touch that) the money they have can be used for fighting the company. Lawsuits like this can be a treasure trove of information since obviously NWA has a lot to hide as evidenced by the confidentiality order it has on its scabs.

If you take a close look at the news you will see a city called New Orleans. If you look a little closer you will see a lot of well-fare recipients that were living month to month trying to scratch by. Then when a disaster struck what did they end up with?

This strike is a disaster for AMFA. They are scratching by month to month. What do you think it will end up with? What will it's Northwest members end up with?

What they wont end up as is a coward who licks the boots of corporate amerika, sitting in the lap of their master begging for scraps helping to lower the wages for the middle class as you do SCAB

There will soon be plenty of jobs in New Orleans. I guess they can become gypsies and go there to pick up the trash.
