LAX/DTW NW338 departing after strike has begun
I am on NW338 which is still departing (10:30 PDT scheduled departure) and the FA's are working the flight,
Does anyone know if the PFAA voted to authorize a sympathy strike? RC |
i believe all the mechanics have been locked out as it seems they were all escorted off the property and credentials confiscated at the end of their shifts.

I think you are totally off. As a mechanic, how could you possibly support NWA's plan? Here it goes: you vote for the contract NWA offered and you, and or, a large percentage of your friends, co-workers, and collegaues will no longer have a job. I am worried about pending flights, but let's at least try to understand where the mechs are coming from. They are being asked to drastically alter their lifestyle, their compensation, their quality of life. Maybe we don't have to fully understand what they are doing, but I do believe we owe them some compassion. This is not an easy issue for anyone involved. --Paul |

OH GROW UP BOYZ AND GIRLZ!!!
The situation is bad and really there is no good solution. Can you blame either side?? I can't....realities of life have flinally caught up with both sides and is't sad, unfortunate but unavoidable. We could help out by giving an extra $50-100 for each ticket we buy....anyone game? |

PFAA (Flight Attendants) will cross pickets too
CBS is reporting that flight attendants will cross pickets too. Your own union members too (PFAA) have voted to cross pickets. See story at:

I was talking about the individual mechanic's frame of mind. They would not vote to diminsih the amount of NW mechanic jobs, would they? Just doesn't make sense. I do understand the basic fundamentals of the situation. The company is losing money and wage concessions are needed. No bones about it. Just saying that I don't see how the individual mechanic can vote for a proposal that is self-defeating.
