I see where the company has posted a message today encouraging people to cross the picket lines.These people are pretty sorry. They think they have the upper hand. Let's be strong against them. They started this thing. Let's finish it.
I'm glad vought is reading our blog comments. So if anyone wants to get anything off their chest go right ahead. Ofcourse vought wouldn't fire anyone right now, duh, because you need everyone you can get. Once an agreement has been made you will be walking a fine line and nobody will help you out....I mean nobody. Not once has vought mentioned on their site that they tried to negotiate with the union. They just say an agreement has failed. They just drop an offer and run. They even park in the fire lane where the meetings take place. They had no intention of trying to talk about an agreement. .....and vought... alot of those peices of garbage that crossed aren't worth much anyway, lol.
This article shows the mindset of the Dallas corporate office. They are willing to sacrifice quality and reputation for a dollar. Now that Airbus is aware of Dallas’s willingness to use untrained workers at other sites. What do you think Airbus believes is going on at the Nashville site? It is a good thing that the leading edges shipped since the strike was built by skilled 735 workers, which had been stock piled.
Now time is running out for Vought, the stockpile of Airbus parts are depleted. It is clear that Airbus is not going to follow Boeing’s mistakes and it should also be clear to upper management at Dallas and Nashville, that this is not 1989. This union is not going to except a contract that has any take aways.

Airbus intelligence on 787: Plane has big problems, including Vought 2:11 PM Thu, Dec 04, 2008 | Permalink | Yahoo! Buzz Eric Torbenson E-mail News tips
There's a bit of aerospace buzz about the scoop that aerospace blogger Jon Ostrower has discovered: Airbus Industrie's own intelligence report about Boeing Co.'s Dreamliner 787. There's speculation that Airbus intentionally leaked the document, which tries to take Boeing down a notch and serves as a cautionary tale for Airbus' own adventure trying to build a rival aircraft to sell against the composite-material 787. Airbus believes, according to the post: - The use of far-flung manufacturers without experience in such a complex project doomed the original production schedule, and cited Dallas-based Vought Aircraft in particular. Vought's 787 struggles have been well-documented - Vought ended up selling its share of part of a production plant back to Boeing and fired its 787 executive as it continues to work through building the 787 aft fuselage section. Here's an excerpt of the summary of the report; All of this was further exacerbated, according to Airbus, by "low-wage, trained-on-the-job workers that had no previous aerospace experience" working at supplier partners. Airbus believes "inadequate supplier capability in design," contributed further, citing as an example that "Vought had no engineering department when selected" by Boeing. - Airbus believes there's no way that Boeing contractors can create enough composite material to build the number of planes that Boeing says it wants to build at peak production, citing actual projections obtained from a Boeing supplier.
