i hear it. listen: i'm not against what you want in any way, i just want to be able to do my job 100%. it's hard when your head is ringing. i understand that there is noise in an aircraft manufacturing plant. this noise, though, is superfluous to the natural noisy aircraft build process. and i shouldn't need earplugs when i'm sitting 40 ft away from a final assy airplane. i am not complaining about your cause, just the fact that i can't do mine. i support everything you want, i just don't agree with the excessive noise in which you express your distaste. have some decency for your fellow workers who can't help your cause.

either way, good luck. i hope no one has to strike. and i obtained earplugs if/as required to perform the following rework...

man, no need to be rude.
just read all the other posts. i already stated many people have gone to management. i just want it to simply stop. all of us on the floor are supposed to be working together like a big happy family. the machinists are acting like the annoying little brother. we're on your side, but you are making it unbearable for those who are working with you. again, we can't do anything about it!
and the execs thing, lets be realistic here: you, by yourself, are expendable to boeing, while on the other hand jim is not. i never said how good of a job they are doing .and i never said that boeing doesn't need us as a whole and that negotiations should stop. i was only stating that complaining about the execs is a lost cause. if you read about 5 posts down, you'll see the continuation of this whole conversation.

dude, did you even read the comments about the legos? it was describing how 787 is an assembly and not built like the 747 is. there was never a comment on this entire board where someone said, "hey, lets build a plane out of legos."

so i have to wear hearing protection all day at work because you feel like acting like child? you act like i know when you'll be making the noises. hey, let me put in my ear plugs right now while discussing a repair with a colleague . there's no reason to have that type of behavior. you can threat to strike, you can have your marches, you can form your picket lines, but quit making working horrible for your fellow employees who can't do anything about it.

i'm on the side that everyone needs more money , but people don't have to make it a harsher environment, by blowing horns all day long, for those who can't do anything about it. save it for the picket lines and stop acting like 2 yr olds.

ugh, please learn how to comprehend reading. you obviously took the lego comment way out of context. a ton of parts come from a supplier, right? then it gets put together here, right? that's called an assembly, not building. 747, now that's building. no shit it's a more complicated process, but the general method is obtain parts and assemble here. Legos: obtain parts and assemble. you don't make the lego pieces then put them together do ya? no, that'd be ridiculous. i never said the airplane just snaps together, either. any moron knows it's more complicated than that. i can see where you got confused, seeing that you can't read or write. some of you people are frustrating.

i hope you weren't saying i said that stuff... i never said any of that. and not everyone who gets laid off comes back. some went and found jobs somewhere else. i was just stating that point. not that you were wrong.

a) well, i never said that there isn't any work to do.
b) i said there is a new method called assembly, not that we don't build planes.
c) i'm pretty sure i even mentioned that we build the 67, and if it goes, we will be building less, so i obviously know there are other planes.
d) 777 has numerous parts brought in by suppliers. that's 87ish.
e) i wasn't trying to underscore what machinists do, i was just stating the sad fact that boeing has already started the out sourcing process.

i think you should read before you write. your education level is showing. nothing personal.

their egos? what's with the insult? i work hard every day , OT everyday, to correct the mistakes machinsts make. we have to make sure the plane conforms to all requirements, so it's safe for your family to fly. we have to fix per spec, not just to get it done. if you mistake that for ego problems, then you are in left field. there's no doubt that what you do is important but do not act like we walk around with egos looking to kick you down. don't drag speea into this.
