This is a good time for low paid mechanics to strike, not many around want to scab for nothing. SWA already pays double the rate most other guys are getting. They could have an experienced work force hired and trained in 90 days. Remember, maintenance is not skilled labor!

What kind of pilot are you? What a garbage mentality to have...but hey, as long as you get yours, right?

Looked back at his previous posts. Lots of mechanic related data. Was one in a previous life, it looks like. Still way off base in my humble opinion.

I personally believe a well compensated mechanic who knows his stuff is kind of a lynchpin in the operation. Seems like SWA management is taking mechanics for granted and I hope we don’t pay too big of a price for management’s shortsighted penny pinching and adversarial conduct.

I pretty much always do. Pretty cut and dry on what our duties are.

Hahaha. What is it that you disagree with or do you just seek any opportunity to disagree with me?
