if they knew the mechanics were cutting corners, they would not get on the plane...
 
Well, a pilot walking around an Airbus on the pre-flight isn't going to notice the crimped line that's about to fail that some disgruntled A&P mechanic bent 100 hours of flight time ago.
 
Obama is going to Michigan. "The appearance will be picketed by angry General Motors retirees who are non-UAW. They claim over 120,000 retirees have lost billions of dollars in health care and other benefits not protected by the “new” GM." WKZO
 
Lear isn't taking on the UAW sitting down:
 
"Lear told The Wall Street Journal that it has flown salaried workers to Arlington from around the country to maintain production. The company is trying to get the UAW to cut its total hourly wage and benefit rate to $35 from $43. "

Amazing that all this change and openness that was promised doesn't give a townhall where people of all types could have input to our president. Instead it's a closed college group who gets the tickets!!!

Maybe he's just trying to keep things quiet for the next time his teleprompter commits suicide

Indeed in the last decade and more the part time worker at Toyota Georgetown more likely would sagotage things due to their being throwaway workers never hoping to consummate their gaining a full time position as they thought when they were hired.
 
Sounds like a wishful opinion based upon no facts.

BO does not want another Joe the Plumber ruining his day, with a question that he cannot answer. What is interesting is the UAW being left out. That was the reason he saved the General wasn't it?

Haven't seen any facts that all those part time workers at Georgetown who thought they were cycling into full time jobs are happier campers than UAW workers at $45 hour base or whatever. ?????
