After what was said in yesterdays vote one has to wonder if Tilton will listen. United has a long history of knee jerk reactions. it will be interesting to see if Tilton will step and say Maybe I have a problem here that needs to be fixed. For two decades now airlines have said times are bad we need the employees to help fund bailing us out. When times were good however they never said Thanks and here is a reward for your sacrifice. Does anyone really doubt for one minute that if they had done this in the past people would not rally to try to help the company. When times got good however they gave management huge raises and bonuses, the people that sacrificed got NOTHING. They made promises and broke them repeatedly. This is not just United but ALL airlines. Is this good business sense? Now they are standing there with their silver spoon out saying fill it or else. The mechs. finally said enough is enough we choose or else over trying to fill the bottomless silver spoon. Tilton is being lied to by those that are in charge of the maint. division. If he took time to talk with mechs.(without management around) all of the mechs not just suckasses he would soon realize this. Even he knew in the oil industry how important it is to have reliable equipment in good working order. This only happens when it is properly maintained. The shoddy maint. being done on Uniteds aircraft at the chop shops will and can only lead to more incidents like the one in Chicago this past week, and that is if the luck continues it could easily have been worse.
We shall soon see if, as the company says, logical and sensible thought prevail.
