Red Tail Movie

[PlayTheOdds]

AMFA members got caught ***ed-out when Steenland made good on his promise to keep Northwest flying. The real enemy is not management but rather AMFA leadership who led the members into thinking that they had a chance in h*ll of getting their jobs back en masse if they went on strike.

You are 100% correct avek00. AMFA dropped the ball big time on this one. AMFA failed its members 100%, then abandoned them.

Unbelievable. In all fairness I will say that I have not seen Fahrenheit 9/ll, Bowling with Columbine was more than enough for me to determine the man is a complete idiot.

Well....I'll give you credit for at least seeing one of his movies. However, I admire him. He's not afraid to tell it like it is.

It's a great movie, that uses a lot of dry wit to illustrate some very serious points.

You should also check out "Roger and Me."

...and ALPA/PFAA/IAM didn't and still don't give a rat's behind about any "support" from a union that: i) utterly failed to protect its members' interests (i.e., ensuring continued employment for as many members as possible given the circumstances); ii) grossly underestimated the dynamics of the playing field with respect to management; and iii) knows nothing about effective political maneuvering, in Washington DC or elsewhere.

What's the matter 00, still pissed how the IAM has lost so many members to AMFA? How about that election at the former NWA? Got 500 IAM cards and never even filed at the NMB. Lost United Airlines to AMFA too. Maybe they should have set up a boxing ring, as the IAM thugs don't know any other tactic to win.

Political maneuvering? Is that how Booby DesGrace does his sellouts? Impressive. How about that IAM contract at US Air? Something to brag about when the union allows its members to virtually work for free.

One thing is for 00, the IAM scab union will never strike, "The Frightened Machinists"....except when its 25 on 5.

...Political maneuvering?...

Without political maneuvering you have nothing. Perfect example would be the locations of the picket lines and the number of people allowed at any given time. Or was that AMFA's bright idea to stick the striking AMT's in the darkest corners of the facility?

Hack it up Hackman, why were the picket lines placed in the worst possible places? Why were the AMFA AMT's shoved off to some of the most undesirable locations? To be honest I think they were refused their right to gather and protest, with the poor sites they were given. How could the AMFA leadership let this happen?

Politics dude, the postions are assigned by the airport authority. People running the airport was the strikers as far from view as possible. Perhaps the passengers would give flying a 2nd thought if all the mechanics were picketing in full view vs fixing the aircraft. Botton line is the company had the airport authority in their pocket in regards to picketing assignments.....

It's the authority's responsibility to maintain the smooth operation of the airport, and picketing only disturbs and places unnecessary risks on the public. It is their job to ensure your right to protest is done in an area that does not disturb operations... regardless of whether the airline has them in their pocket or not.

The Red Tail trailer is good, and it shows a somewhat non-contraversial look at what has happened to the employees of NW. If you were to have a complete babbling idiot like Michael Moore produce and direct this film, you would not only be degrading yourselves, but you would lose all credibility for your cause, and most people would lose respect for you. I already have a little just by the suggestion....

You mean telling it like he sees it.
The man is a national emabarrasment.

Well Farenheight 9/11 was a blockbuster. Obviously a lot of people weren't "embarrassed" by him.

There were enough seething Bush-haters who rejoice in seeing America's reputation tarnished across the world to make it a blockbuster (by documentary standards).

 

[peaches]

Whether liberal or conservative the wealthy will protect their interests while throwing the lower and middle class "bones" while flipping us the bird.

Yep, they hire an army of beancounters to figure the best way to do that.

You should reallly take a long hared look at the type of people that made it a "blockbuster". If that is what you really want to call it.

NH/BB, Thanks for the compliment.
