Typical Tulsa comment, making comments without facts. No one is going to bump me, I have the seniority to withstand any layoffs out of Tulsa and this isn't all about you.

The lifestyle in Tulsa is very different $32 an hour really does go a long way in Tulsa, when people aren't suffering they tend to make different choices & don't want to roll the dice again when their already comfortable.
Also with the low cost of living many people retire between 55 and 60 so there were a lot of people that voted for the contract in order to get the money & retire leaving this industry forever, I understand you not liking it chuck but as long as Tulsa has the numbers your just going to have to live with it, maybe someday the line will outnumber Tulsa but it will be at least 6 years before you will get another chance regardless.
also in 6 years AA will not be in bankruptcy so the situation will be different.
see ya in 6 years.
BTW I have no problem bumping a line Mechanic either !

Well actually I wouldn't bump NY but would bump Texas or California & maybe some others, NY is way to crowded for me & my family & the crime rate is just way to unsafe for raising children.

Why do you feel the need to lessen the average IQ in Texas and Cali?
AA what you think about this? This are the guys running your day live operations, doing overnite cks and removing placards. For sure you will get the best out of this group. May be OH can help you with the live operation. Creditors comittee take notes about this.

Email today from the Teamsters.
There’s been a lot of talk about the vote yesterday on the new contract. And one thing that a lot A/A mechanics and related are saying is how glad they are that the Teamsters are here to help us organize.
The Teamsters have already expressed their commitment to using the Section 6 provision of the Railway Labor Act to reopen the existing contract.
That means the recently passed agreement under TWU can be reopened once the Teamsters become our bargaining representative.
Yesterday’s vote is yet another strong reason to become Teamsters.
American Airlines is required by law to open up the contract for a newly-certified union to negotiate changes. And the Teamsters have pledged to enforce that right if we choose the Teamsters to represent us at A/A.
Sign a Teamster card today before the layoff. ;-)

Thats a blatant lie, changing unions doesnt trigger Section 6 negotiations. Section 6 negotiations only take place 60 days prior to the amendable date.
Lies spread by the IBT.
Newly certified means when a group who is non-union elects union representation.

They say it is in this literature so look up the court case & decide for yourself if you believe it or not AMFA lawyers says they can't open the contract so that's AMFA stand on the matter.
