Wow I have been out of here since the last mechanics contract in 2011, I think. And here we are, way past our contract due date, with full retro pay on the table. Same things apply as far as contract pay- UPS has made record profits from the Air side.

What kind of trouble would you be aware of? Not wearing a vest? Not drinking enough water? If you are speaking of FAA concerned actions, why would anyone confide in you? Just askin...
