Smoke Another One
Employer: ATA
I do believe that ATA is in Dire Straights and will be down the tubes by this time next year. But I am not giving them anything voluntarily. I have given this company enough. 3 year pay freeze, furlough, my sanity, blood, sweat and tears. Fellow Brothers I am finished with the "Donations". Upper Management has made their bed. They brought John Tague back a second time. They gave him the Visa Gold Card with Boeing. Now we can't afford the airplanes. All Upper Management Decisions. I mean give me a break, their decisions. 27 Vice Presidents, Lear Jets, Helicopters, 2 Yachts. etc. etc. Lets let the yacht crews give up their sick days. Mark my words When ATA wants something they will take it, they don't need our handouts. We will all be giving up something in OCT/ NOV time frame. Yes I like my employment just like the next guy and it will suck when ATA is gone the way of the Jaybird. But all things were meant to be, and I highly doubt that 700 Fellow Brother's Sick Days will change the Inevitability of our demise. Besides, "HISTORY HAS A WAY OF REPEATING ITSELF". Especially in the Airline Industry.

Smoke another one. You talk about the company being in dire straights. What about the organization that represents you? AMFA! They have been in negotiations for the last couple of years. What have they gotten you? Nothing. When was the last time you or any other members were at the OPEN NEGATIONS? Is AMFA going to get you more money? $40.00 per hour. Are you one of the fools that are paying your money to McCormick and Delle? If I were you people I would tell my AMFA organizers I am not pay one more red cent until I get a contract/ raise and befit increase. MY FIRST CONTRACT. Save your money. It sounds like you will need the money for your family. Please don’t give me the crap about we have to carry our weight. The company is not carrying theirs. AMFA is not carrying theirs. But you’re going to keep pay dues without any representation. No wondering why Tague and Delle are dragging their feet with suckers like you guys on the line there is no incentive to work for you. Buy the way how much are dues at ATA? When you done smoking another at ATA maybe you can move onto Delle.
