I always laugh when I hear these stories...all this panic, and exactly HOW many injuries and deaths have we had in the past 10 years due to mechanic error? Remember when Northwest fired all the union mechs and hired in "scabs"...exactly HOW many accidents have they had? And they fly DC9s made before Woodstock!

If Juan can do for $12/hr. what Bubba the union slacker used to do for $60/hr. then more power to him. Society benefits from lower ticket prices which allow us to spend money on other things or travel for business more often. Unions have killed any industry they infiltrate...this is historical fact.

Until planes start falling out of the sky, Juan is fine with me.
