but when mainline UAL, USAIRWAYS, and AA ground crews worked our flights, we never had the problems that we do now.

Thank you, from a prior AA Ramp Ape

I just wanted to give what you said the emphasis it deserves.

Outsourcing airport work to foreigners who don't speak English is a recipe for disaster and a boon for our aircraft sheet metal contractors.

LOL,

I worked with a few English speaking "no-loads" too :p...

You can tell them hundreds of times how to drive a tug to the mailroom, but they just don't grasp it...so I let them handle the LAV cart :)

You wouldn't it if you knew it meant your job...

That is what the problem is...

But, the stuff in the blue room ends up in the lav cart, right?

that's when I could delegate my authority and send a newbie to do it :)

I was after all, the most senior and Lead, so, that made me King....

You are wrong about that. I am accountable to a higher authority and while I might be afraid of job repercussions, mistakes do happen. I don't want to go to bed at night knowing that lives were lost due to my negligence. I trust in God for all things and He could find me a new job.

Ok, then you are out of the ordinary, as am I. Because of what I know, I could not in good faith let that jet back out with a crease in the skin... I would have to confess to it and cause a delay or cancellation. I also hold professional licenses that I would be at risk of losing and being barred from working on AC.

There is a scripture verse that says (paraphrased) "he who is slack in his work is brother to one who destroys."

My husband used to work with a notorious slacker in a very dangerous job. The guy was pretty religious (a JW) and always proselytizing. I told my hubby to give him that verse to chew on.

I learned a long time ago it's best to be honest about mistakes made. Ordinarily, people will respect you for it. It can backfire but I'd rather take the high road. Glad to hear you believe the same.

Happy NEW YEAR!!!!!

AS much as I love Jesus and respect others faith. I have had the misfortune to work with "religious" folk, who think thier job while on the job is to "witness..". I refer them to Song of Solomon... For every thing there is a season...

They also seem to daydream more...

Not too funny when you have to try to wake them up while they are wingwalking on a powerback...
