I know we're operating at capacity too. We actually ran out of operational equipment last Friday. As for us mechanics, I started at ITS in '05, I was the #103 in the seniority list out of 110 mechanics. 9 1/2 years later I'm now #62 out of 69. Can you imagine reducing your work force by 1/3, maintaining the same work load with a crew that's average age is 53 years old. We've been working 7 10's for over a year now. Management doesn't seem to care. I tore my ACL at work 2 years ago. They said "see you in 8 months. Come back strong, we need you". I'm just another piece of equipment that breaks down every now and then. They run us till we break, we heal and they run us again. Pays good but that's about it.

As for the lock out, I hope if they do it, it'll be between Oct 25 and Nov 5, I'll be fly fishing the Eastern Sierras, hate to use vacation time if I don't need to.

That's how it is. Use you up until they don't need to you. Then they tell you adios.
