Fire everyone of them just like Pres. Reagan did!
I got down voted for saying the exact same thing...I mean, what adult knew it would be that hot in the desert?
At United we have a big time looser union and the crapiest merger of any airline.Continental mechs got shafted on our retro pay by shorting us 6 months.first the lying union said we had never received retro in the past which was false then they tried to ram a piss poor health care that would be run by the union only so the union could steal the money and we would be tied to them for ever.We voted 93% contract down.They got rid of that pathetic union scam health care thing and upped our what they origianlly said was not retro and now refered to it as retro but still no addition to the 6 months of the robed retro for the continental side this was due to the continental contract expiring 6 months before the United side did IT PASSED THE SECOND TIME BECAUSE THERE WERE MORE ON THE UNITED SIDE AND THEY WERE DESPERATE TO GET INTO OUR STATIONS IN FLORIDA WAS WHY IT PASSED SO WE COULD GET ALL THERE LOOSERS FROM DENVER WASHINGTON DC CHARLESTON AND NEWYORK AND LOOSE OR RETRO.but they dont give a ...... then we got all these looser united side come into contineNtals station who have seniority and do NOT know how to work the line same amount of years as me and there asking how to do a job i tell them go the manual WE should NOT have to tell a guy whos been here as long as US how to do something unbelievable.

I remember when the teamsters hoisted a sign "Please don't cross the picket lines" on an overpass. A burning scab's car was alongside to get attention.
Unions claims SWA wants to outsource maintenance. SWA Claims they want to double the sizeof the maintenance facility at KPHX.....Ok, so who is telling the truth here/
