Did you retire Brandi? Im still at the (Continental)--United. IAH maint. 33 years, started when I was 20. I had to get a new profile here, my previous disappeared. I have a Cat also now, old D6C and a 97 Massey 283.

Davo757,
Yep, I retired. Gonna go to the union's retirement party later today. Suppose to get another plaque. But I like this one...... 8-31-20 Brandi With Retirement Plaque.jpg
33 years huh? So you started there while I was working on DC-9s at CXO, then IAH when Emerald moved there. I am drawing a blank on who you are .
What Cat do you have?
hugs, Brandi

Our union, AMFA, held our retirement barbeque today. Fan Blade Plaque.jpeg The plaques were over the top. Guess they thought the plaque needed to be better than management's plaque.
It is a fan blade out of a B737-300 fan disc. We don't have any -300 aircraft any more. I am guessing they were scrapped for one reason or another, but still worth $$$. It was polished, engraved, and mounted on a nice designed plaque. A mechanic in our Tampa engine shop made them.

I didn't get to bring mine home, as they misspelled my name. Bindi anyone?
The Tampa Union Rep said he could get the name spelled right, or just make a new blade to attach to the base. The base is engraved underneath like the blades had their weights engraved with a serial number. Mine is SN# 0125 and signed with the guy's name who made it. I wasn't expecting anything but free food and some cheap plaque. Boy, did the union come through again!
hugs, Brandi

How are Y'all doing with the downturn? Any talk of wage cuts and layoffs? I don't remember anything on the news about United.
727? I have turned a few wrenches on three holers. Or what we called the older ones with blocker door reversers............Bombers.
hugs, Brandi
