I wonder if any of the 73 positions will be OSM's? Oh that's right, AA/twu is the only airline to have the "second class mechanics" or "inhouse outsourcing" as it were.
At least AMFA is fighting rogue management, instead of laying in bed with them.
When is our AA/twu Force Majuere case? Never is right.....
For Scabby;
Punks, Drunks, Cowards, Functional Illiterates, Felons, and Scabs. The twu's finest.

If you want to know pending cases go to http://www.twuatd.org/, it shows the case pending awaiting docket schedule. And AMFA isn't fighting anyone, much less management. Dream on Sackboy.

Well when I asked Little about it at the 2001 Convention he gave me a weird look. I asked him "Whats the matter dont you think we will win it?" He said "Oh yea we will win it, but we will bankrupt the company".
We will never see that case brought forward.

Wasn't that weird look due to the fact you had your hand on his knee?

NWA AMTs that are recalled come back to full pay and benefits.
AA AMTs that are recalled come back to less pay and benefits. AND... an industrial union more concerned with dues than fighting for the AMTs craft & class. AND... an industrial union that does not allow the membership to vote on international officers. AND... an industrial union where the international controls the contract and not the membership. AND... an industrial union where the only supporters must hide behind an alias because they fear the truth. 😛h34r:

So in other words those guys could have sat at home and done nothing, except cash their unemployment checks, been home Christmas, weekends and all the other holidays while we were at work, yet over a four year period they will still make more than we will working the whole time.

So quit Booby...only a fool as yourself would cry and then take his unhappy butt into work. How's that monthly income of yours Booby? Minus the $800/mo you screwed yourself out of!...you cry for COLA and you can't even keep what you got...you're a real smoothie....HAHAHA!
Well it seems that nobody from the TWU camp has anything to say about the fact that AMFA fought for their members and got them back.
In the meantime the company continues to eliminate jobs as fast as people retire or quit. At this rate by the end of the year we will have even less mechanics working, and all of those that remain will do so for 25% less. Expect the rate of retires to continue to increase due to the fact that unlike AMFA represented NWA and SWA who did not take pay cuts, the longer our guys stay the less retirement they will get. Instead of an early out bonus the TWU is the first union to come up with a penalty for staying, they are not getting an early out, they are getting a kick out!
As these workers leave they are not replaced, but the workload is not reduced either. So the TWU not only gave the company the biggest concessions package the industry has ever seen but they also agreed to a speed up. So in fact the TWU did not cut costs only $660 million a year but probably close to double that.
That $3.1 million is the best investment ever made!
