First Post

I am not going to start this off with grand ideas...or lofty ambitions. I have none for this blog. I just want a place to things down. If they entertain you...awesome. If they don't...maybe this will I am not entirely sure what to do here. Mostly I just want a place to tell myself about the life I am leading. It is not an entirely perfect exsistence (who's is?), but it does me just fine.

Today was my day off - not too bad for me. I did have the time to find some interesting articles:

This is one ....in summary Boeing just won a large order for 787 aircraft from Qantas in Australia. A total of about 115 if the options were exercised.
Now what amazed me about this article was some of the Boeing Execs comments "...We're really appreciative of Qantas decision. They are a challenging customer because they have some unique mission requirements because they are a long way away."...you must be kidding me right? This phrase was uttered by Mike Bair, President of the 787 program. Not a dumb guy by any means...but in that single sentence he proved that "us americans" are living up to our stereotype. They are "a long way away"??? Away from what? C'mon Mike...global business...global...

Here is another ...This one is about the striking Northwest Airlines mechanics represented by The Aircraft Mechanics Franternal Association. They are to vote a proposal by NWA to allow them to come back to work...conditionally. They will be allowed to be recalled in seniority order as positions open up.
In my opinion this is another win for Northwest management. They have successfully lowered the wage scale and eliminated the union that had threatened their viability. Basically this situation was an old west gunfight. The union drew first and missed. They went on strike and Northwest dodged and revealed what they were carrying. After the initial strike I made a comment to a co-worker of mine that NWA would be in bankruptcy in a month. They lasted about 4. In my career AMFA has been the worst union to deal with. They have inept leadership - the leadership of that union should of steered the rank and file guys a different way. They also don't show much maturity when they create websites like this. The men and women on these pages chose to think of their families well being and I am sure made a difficult decision. But to post their names and pictures for the world to see? Maybe a bit much.


Well this is about it for the day. Thanks for coming along.
