PATCO was a big domino, it fell and the "man" has been winning ever since. Dubbya hired scary Mary to destroy aircraft maintenance as a viable career in the USA. They were more successful than Regan was, at least ATC jobs remain. MX is a.poor mans job in every conceivable way. I just hate to see some unsuspecting American get conned into making a costly mistake for the benefit of a corporate scumbag. I need to find venues where I can get the word out vocaly since most mechanics can't read.
