Just Heard The Sby Mechanics Walked Off.the Company Has Been Stalling For Over One Year.wont Find Any Local Help In Chicken Town For Replacements.best Wishes Guys.
 
I didn't know they were at that stage yet.

I won't fly a scab maintained airplane...Cough.... NW.......
 
In the words of Gunny Hartman,

"Well. No $#&t."

Maybe the chickenhut knew something was coming- ROA and MDT have been getting most of the tough packages and quick turn ferryfixflyitouts because of "parts shortage."

WHAT IS YOUR MAJOR MALFUNCTION PRIVATE PYLE?!?!?!?!

So only the SBY mechs are walking with the rest in MDT and ROA still on the job? I smell a rat. I wouldn't believe it until I saw guys walking around the chicken coop with picket signs.

Where'd they walk to? The mall with 3 stores in it or the Rockin' Ramada?

"Who said that? I'll PT you until yer butts are serving buttermilk"

"well, private joker (whataburger)...." Sorry, I watched that movie the other night.. Awesome flick.

There is that cool irish pub down the street from the rockin Ramada. Maybe someone could check there. Oh, and bring me a guiness and a Shepards Pie.
 
....corporate scum.....;)
 
Confirmed. The early shift that day walked out, and apparently every shift since then has slowed down. With an engine swap (825) looming by Tuesday on top of the rest of this crap, the mx is going to back uuuuuuuuuup.

All mechanics got a 2 page letter from SF explaining his "displeasure" and legality of what they did, the RLA, etc.

OH! Since the mechanics are ARFF, if they ALL walked out (including the sooper) the airport would have to shut down. Shoestring operation much?

I can see that on the PDT Daily: SBY temporarily OTS, contact ops for further information.
 
The reason the MDT mechanics haven't slowed or had a sick out is because this matter doesn't affect them. MDT mechanics (former ALG) make $6.00 and hour more than the PDT (SBY, CLT & ROA) mechanics. The PDT mechanics are demanding that they be paid the same as the MDT guys. PDT management's response to they was, "What are you willing to give up in exchange for a pay raise."

It's B.S. If PDT is going to pay half of their mechanics one rate and the other half $6 an hour less, who wouldn't be pissed. They're all PDT mechanics.
