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.

"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."

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.
