Boeing strike

I am on strike now. And I am looking for temporary employment. I can't wait to retire. What a way to run a business. Both the union (click on the link for updates) and the company are pathetic. I guess I am , too, since I am in both. I haven't picketed yet.

It is amazing to me that people think we are greedy. You know I think I wrote a similar post the last time we were on strike, or maybe this is just dejavue. (Grab temples and shake back and forth screaming "AAAH!" like Capt. Kirk.) Building an airplane from scratch (almost, as in 787) is not anything like any other career. Would you tell your doctor he earns too much because he just pokes at people all day. How about Oprah Winfrew? What does she do but gab all day on TV? And does T. Bone Pickens work 60 hours a week? How about the CEO of Boeing: how hard a job is that? Boeing Management makes a lot of stupid decisions every day! I could do better than that, and believe me I've tried! I just want a good wage reflecting my 26 years in aviation and a 4 year degree. And some guarentee that the company isn't going to send my job overseas. It's good for me to keep my job here, but it is good for business because the suppliers that are being used have extremely poor quality, and we are reworking their products anyway.
