[P]As for the statement that maybe the lack of overhaul at WN and maybe that's why they voted for AMFA...uhm, that would be the stupidest, most moronic, careless move AMFA could make in "representing" mechanics at WN. Should they choose to fight that fight, it would definitely convince me that AMFA, like most unions, has no clue on how to run a business, no are they concerned about the business their members work for. WN is one of, if not he, safest commercial carriers in the US, and possible the world. They've never had overhaul as part of their company. Why start now? [BR][BR]----------------[/P][/BLOCKQUOTE]
[P][/P][BR][BR]Do you have the hard facts on why the mechanics went AMFA?[BR][BR]I would suspect the non-overhaul played a role. In exhange for non-overhaul the WN mechanics have been the highest paid in the industry in the past. [BR][BR]All of the sudden that exhange stoppped and their dues were raised.[BR][BR]Nobody said the AMFA was going to demand an overhaul base. It was simply pointed that non-overhaul could have been a factor in creating disgruntled employees.[BR][BR]With each new added flight comes the higher risk of a terrible accident. Larger does not always mean better and safer.[BR][BR]
