What's going on with the VBR's?

[Hopeful]

His ruling provided for 100%, 25%, and April 10, 2001 as the basis of seniority and he would not agree to additional imposed limits or interpretations.

So you are saying that ex TWA people should NOT have stopped accruing occupational time after being laid off more than three years? That's the way the contract is written and was in place before 4/10/01. There are plenty of native AAers who were laid off and lost occupational time.

TWA is still flying? I thought they went out of business seven years ago.

This is a letter I was sent about VBR. I hope you are able to read it. If not, let me know and I will type it.

That letter then goes along and makes sense with what we are hearing in Tulsa that all the layoffs are going to be coming from MCIE and AFW.

You should know as well as anyone that AA moves checks from base to base at a drop of a hat,
I am sure that check, if you get it at all, will be in Tulsa soon, TWU wants people hired for AA,
not people that was aquired. Local 530 will be history by March, and so will be a lot of good ex-TWA mechanics................................

<_< -------What is it son? These old men here at MCI showing you up again by taking work away from you? Why is it that all you "hired" people fight over work like a couple of dogs over a bone? AA loves it!! And your TWU does nothing to stop it, or control it! ---------Your damn right I'm proud to have worked with these professionals! And to have been part of the legacy of what was TWA!!!!

Hey I got to give it to the old TWA mechanics, get those 757 winglits done in 16 days when you know your days are coming to a end......and thanks for the 767 winglet mod us boys in Tulsa can get a new truck or bass boat, and also thanks for the MAUI mod, we can use the work.. TWA mechanics can get the job done but lets face it you are the redheaded one, and you will take the fall, sorry but someone has to lose.....agian TWA has a good maintaninance staff...................

Again (spelled correctly) TWA had an excellent maintenance staff (spelled correctly)! Most of you are clueless as to what was performed at the overhaul base. Sadly you are correct we lost.

You have still not learned you lessen, have you MCI? You know the company's inetentions and you still dream. You don't think when they're ferrying that North American jet, they can't make a turn and head to DFW or TUL.

I respect your optimism , but you still have not learned your lessen with respect to this company.

Then you'll be back here posting how you are the red headed step children and how the ex TWA folks continue to get screwed.

I have advice for you, MCI....... EXPECT THE WORST AND YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED."
