said by telarium:And even if TWA doesn't meet certain strict requirements to make a comparison - I think there's more in common than one might presume. There was a TWA customer service center located just outside of Lambert -- and they were given the boot, not to mention union mechanics, flight attendants, and pilots. The fact that the industry differs doesn't take away from the fact that takeovers don't guarantee job security - often the opposite, they cement job insecurity. More examples? Mcdonnell Douglas, Ralston Purina, Chrysler (after Daimler), and more...I've had many friends - with all of the above-mentioned companies, lose their jobs in the wake of take-overs.
This is an internal matter - how people - half a country away - seem to know what goes on in St. Louis baffles me.
I think there is a difference. Well if TWA had plane service at an airport where AA was at then why do they need to keep those employees?? there not going to add more plane serice there? also if they already had a hub that had mechanics they don't need more mechanics at TWA's hub.
