Regarding maintenance. Years ago we had an organizing effort in Wilmington, at this time we were loaded with highly skilled and highly compensated mechs. But they bought into the Hete plantation mentality and most of them are now gone. (At half the wage rate). The guys now are not as skilled and probably can't go other places; therefor they are stuck and overly thankful for a substandard wage.
Does this scenario sound familiar? ATI crew members ?
