The fact is you can't compete with a communist country that pays its workers pennies on the dollar using children in factories. Why don't you explain to me why you think UPS should be allowed to farm my job out to this country, a country that does not have to have FAA inspections, drug tests, or an A&P license.
I have over 25 years of experience on just about every aspect of aviation maintenance. The small number of mechanics at UPS have the same. We can out wrench any chop shop that uses one experienced mechanic that over looks 20.I'd rather not hear another speech. You made a comment on post #54..now back it up. By the way are you using a teleprompter?
What teleprompter?I'd rather not hear another speech. You made a comment on post #54..now back it up. By the way are you using a teleprompter?
What about the 727 that lost all three engines and glided into chicago just missing the tops of buildings. Pure luck that it did not crash into something.
Let me guess by the way you leave these long winded answers to questions that you are not answering you must be the weight lifter nut I see on the ramp. Only somebody on roids would react like that!!! Oh by the way they aren't my union brothers.Hey chucky cheese, why are you ratting out your fellow union brothers? Do you not get what we are saying? They are farming out all of our work to CHINA! They don't want us working on there aircraft like an airline. They want just enough mechanics to satisfy the FAA, who forced them into the airline business.
Well this is about to blow up in there face, they can't just run a virtual airline with mechanics that are there just to hold the pilots hand when the plane leaves. Especially when you have planes coming out of these chop shops with work done by some illegal immigrant that forgot to put all the bolts back in the part that made that Airbus almost run off the runway.

What for??? Is it going to make a difference.Why wont YOU answer the question ...... What gateway do you work in?
What teleprompter?
By the way, the biggest problem I see with this airline is that its run by people who know nothing about an airline. Just like you.
Hey, a Rat is a rat no matter if he is in a union or not Chucky.Let me guess by the way you leave these long winded answers to questions that you are not answering you must be the weight lifter nut I see on the ramp. Only somebody on roids would react like that!!! Oh by the way they aren't my union brothers.
Wow I leave for awhile and its still business as usual.
Im not going to take sides both have valid points, but I will say you guys are mixing issues, theres the issue of outsourcing to foreign repair stations, and the outsourcing of union jobs domestically, two different problems in my mind still job losses for UPS but still retained domestically. And heres what the FAA says about foreign repair stations

Sounds like you know from experience what a rat is. You call yourself "unionman" but I bet you don't have a clue what the union means or represents. You are probably one of those guys who goes and tells the boss what everybody is doing wrong so you can look good.Hey, a Rat is a rat no matter if he is in a union or not Chucky.
Ok Chucky lets just drop it. You can assume all you want about me but we all know who's side your on.Sounds like you know from experience what a rat is.

No you have no idea who's side I'm on. I haven't been a steward for 22 1/2 years because of my good looks!!! So I'm going to give you a little background. In these 22 plus years, I have created more than 11 fulltime jobs by getting outside vendors tossed out and partimers who working more than 30 days fulltime, I win 98% of my grievances, only had 2 people who were fired not get there jobs back (both were stealing time) thats always hard to win anyway. And I have run unapposed every reelection. And also got some of the overnite terminals to join the union. So yea who's side do you think I'm on!!!!Ok Chucky lets just drop it. You can assume all you want about me but we all know who's side your on.

Hey *********... At which point did I say anything about teamsters. I don't want to see any union person loose there job for any reason. Unfortunately we have no control with what the so called experts in Atlanta decide to do. All we can do as a group is come on here and voice our displeasure and file grievences about it and try to change them through that channel. Next time before you type something make sure you know what your are talking about. I'm not a teamster I am in the machinist union by the way!!!Wow!!! Yet your so plesed with the misfortune of other Teamsters?
