Why do I care, because I researched amfa before crossing the picket line, before making my decision about what I should do, but you know what, I found amfa members screaming about past behavior on amfa's part (the-mechanic.com), I found member calling baggage handlers names (articles from several search engines), from when amfa broke away at NWA, I found members screaming about the million dollar beach house in Florida that is supposed to belong to Delle (the mechanic.com), amfa members ridiculing amfa for lack of strike fund (articles and the-mechanic) I wish there was a union out there that I could respect, one that operated from a basis of intellect and knowledge and genuine membership benefit and not from executive arrogance and executive excess.

Also, for your edification, Local 9 Officers are paid
‘straight time’!!!
No OT for those 14-16 hour days and working Saturday-Sunday!!!
I believe this is not right for our Local Officers but
‘The Membership’ has determined that this is the way it is.
I’m happy that these dedicated individuals accept the position without extra compensation because it shows their resolve in support of
‘Unionism’!!!
Ask Dan how much AMFA spent to help him get his job back after the twu/aa union fired him?
Ask some of the NWA strikers how much AMFA has supported them on this Strike?
If I have a question about one of our Officers, I would not post some anonymous derogatory comment on the internet, as most cowards would do. I go to the 'meetings' and if I have a question, I ASK, novel idea eh?
You are also aware that the UAL AMFA has recalled one of their Officers and a recall can be accomplished by the ‘Membership’ at any time.
Is AMFA Perfect?
Depends on
'The Membership'!!!
Go back to the ‘amfanuts’ and ‘The-Mechanic’ website of ‘anonymous posters’ (except for Dennis Sanderson aka ‘The-Mechanic’) for your unbiased and empirical research data. Who is the amfanuts ‘amfanator’? Yet another anonymous entity with ‘zero’ credibility!!!
I hope your ability to fix aircraft is better than your ability to ‘research’ AMFA.
