Re: Dumping outbase maintenance

Well I have been speaking "unofficially" with a couple PACT members and this threat to outbase employment is legit. All bases without a hangar are in jeopardy according to them. I say unofficially because they have been instructed not to discuss it. This to me is inconceivable!! Who's interests do t...

Re: Tech Ops guys PM ME

I have been here for 8yrs plus and the company has changed alot since I began. The formula no longer works for determining wages for AMEs and needs to be revisited. I do not understand management's logic in giving your most loyal and experienced AMEs that are stuck at the top of the AME pay scale pe...
