Yeah, it looks like your twu did not save your maintenance base drippy. Doomed as you call it. Do you have recall rights to TWA? Those years of iam concessions did save your job, right? Are you blaming fuel for the failure of TWA also? Tell us what the years of iam concessions did for your retirement, since many of the TWA employees I have met are still working well into their 60's and 70's. Looks to me like giving in to every management whim and desire did not do much for the so called "golden years" for TWA employees.
Yes, furloughs are a way of life in the airline industry, never gut the contract to prevent them, it does not work. The twu spouted off how the industry leading concessions they gave us would save jobs and minimize layoffs. We have 3000 on the street with thousands more to come, and no contract worth speaking about. Please tell me again what was saved.
