Something all flight attendants should consider regardless of what airline they are working for:

Groveling should never be a negotiating tactic.

Emotional appeals do not work at the negotiating table.

Ever.

Always remember this!

Thanks, Rock! Flight attendants everywhere adore you!

The strike comes after the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers announced that 94.6% of union members voted to reject a proposed contract from Boeing. The deal would've included a 25% pay raise over four years, much lower than the requested 40%.

This is expected to halt the production of aircraft in Washington state, where most of the union members are located.

Gotta love it when military aircraft manufacturers decide to make passenger aircraft in the laziest way possible, by taking a bomber design and just adding a wider fuselage, for example:

The Soviet Tupolev Tu-104

Comes from the Tu-16 medium bomber

The Tu-114

From the Tu-95

And the Tu-70 prototype

Comes from the soviet copy of the American Boeing B-29 bomber, which also had an official airliner derivative

The Boeing Stratocruiser.

And since we’re outside the iron curtain

The British Avro York

Is a heavily modified variant of the iconic Avro Lancaster heavy bomber.

Never forget the past. A Focke-Wulf Fw 190 crashed in a forest near Leningrad in 1943 and was found only in 1989, 45 years later. Never forget history. ➤GERMAN AIRCRAFT VIDEOS: https://dronescapes.video/WWIIGermany

Thsu is really important and shouldn't be ignored or looked over, these workers have been underpaid and without health insurance for some time now. What's worse is that people will demonize them for the crime of understanding the value of their labor and wanting better, as usual those people view workers from industrial manufacturers to service workers to be invisible or inhuman beings that do stuff for them. If anything I'm lucky Boeing has an awful reputation right which might sound strange but hesr me out, with everything going on with the suspicious deaths and widespread visible safety failures you'd look really bad defending Boeing in this strike given their current reputation, though you'll always have corporate stooges who love the taste of leather in their mouth. Dontate to the strikers if you can and promote the news regarding it, the more eyes and ears the better, don't let this simply fade from the news cycle!!!

"Boeing has accused the Machinists union of failing to bargain in good faith in an unfair labor practice filed Thursday, as the ongoing strike enters its fourth week.

In a charge filed with the National Labor Relations Board, Boeing said the union had engaged in “regressive bargaining [and] surface bargaining” and accused the union of misrepresenting the terms of the deal and the status of negotiations to union members and the public. Boeing also said the union failed to “bring representatives to the bargaining table with the authority to reach an agreement.”

The charge comes after a two-day bargaining session ended with Boeing withdrawing its latest contract offer and both parties accusing the other of refusing to negotiate. After talks broke down Tuesday, the Machinists union said Boeing was “hell-bent” on sticking to its most recent contract proposal. In an interview the next day, local president Jon Holden said Boeing had overstated what it had offered to the union."

So, do you know what happens when you let an aircraft design bureau known for making bombers, make an interceptor?

You get, from Convair, know for making the B-58 Hustler

the world’s first supersonic bomber

The F-102 Delta Dagger

And the F-106 Delta Dart

And from Tupolev, known from pretty much being THE bomber-maker of the Soviet Union, among them the Tu-22 “Blinder”

The Soviet Union’s first supersonic bomber, and the only supersonic bomber to be available for export customers, you get

The Tu-128, the world’s heaviest “fighter” aircraft.

Oh, and for the opposite, see what happens when you let Dassault, known for making France’s fighter jets since WW2

especially supersonic delta wing designs, you get

The Mirage IV, the world’s shortest-ranged nuclear bomber.
