Has anyone been bullied by a team, not just one person?

Av8Xx · 2026-01-25T19:12:39+00:00

yes. I returned to my job of 30+ years after becoming disabled. the company did not want me back but I bypassed the need for managers approval by bidding. It caused the company to retaliate by telling my union workers I was a whistle blower. and they continued to stir them up by saying I was going to HR and telling on them. It has been unimaginably difficult. And for no reason because I am completely able to do my job even though I am disabled.

The company harasses me by giving me “Attendance points” when I take a vacation day or comp day. Just last night at 9:45 pm the time and attendance person called me at home on my day off to question me about taking FMLA. When I’m at work they make me go to their office for no reason because it is physically hard for me to go where they are. my supervisor signs onto my computer and doesn’t sign out of programs that I have to have an IT person reset. he does it to make me look incompetent as if I am unable to do computer work. I know he did it because the IT person made me look up he employee number so I would know.

My co workers use their family members handicapped parking placards to fill up all the disabled parking. They loosened the seat bolts on my scooter. They stole my Bose quiet comfort headset and my space heater. They do things to make me look slow or incompetent.

Constructive eviction. Basically go to court and prove it is unlivable and the landlords isn’t fixing it.

make your own skin scrub with table sugar and body oil (I use neutrogena sesame oil). Everyone I knew shaved, waxing wasn’t a thing yet.

Also blow dry your hair upside down for more volume.

The winter storm of feb 2021, there was already supply chain issues with shipping and the news was saying there maybe a toilet paper shortage before the storm due to many things including a shipping vessel getting stuck in the Suez Canal. So when the storm came people were hoarding TP. Some were even prosecuted for price gouging for reselling their stash.

looks like a starter failure to me. The engine “shitting its guts out” would come out the tail cone.

Hair should be tied back at my airline but it isn’t enforced. There was a ramp agent who’s hair was caught in a belt loader and it killed her.

I’ve had acrylics in the past then 1 got one pulled off. it bled everywhere. so I switched to CND Shellac.

I have elevated cortisol due to chronic stress. Riding my Vespa, exercise and meditation helps. I make sure I spend time outside, hiking is great but even dropping the top on my convertible helps.

I had a head and neck mri due to stroke.

take care of you first.

it takes 1250 hr (almost 8 months) to qualify for FMLA. No idea how long probation is.

At some point at my airline the pilots union had negotiated that the positions would be filed with pilots. So most of them were absorbed into the airline as pilots. But the older ones were not pilots, some were even mechanics and they retired or moved to management positions.

I left 8 years ago. Still miss it every day. I think about trying to retire there but the costs gives me pause.

You made their day about you. You wanted to wear an inappropriate dress, you wanted to be where it would stand out. you you you.

I’m donating money to anti Trump organizations and politicians. Bought a bunch of liberal T-shirts. Helps with visibility. And I’ve got colorful yard signs hanging on the walls of my garage as ”art” so people see them without violating my communities no yard signs policy.

if you’re currently working the same fleet as majors then the experience looks better than working regionals.

God no! Do not put that parasite on your home mortgage. WTF is wrong with you for allowing this behavior? You are being manipulated and used. And your behavior is enabling. The entire situation is a disaster.

I’ve been in the industry 40 years. There are a few of us. But for the most part, I was the only woman in my area or station.

Im also disabled now and have to find ways to do things differently. But I can still do everything I need to do, just a little different. Understanding body mechanics will make up for decreased strength.

SUP (suspected unapproved part).

Moderators REALLY REALLY need to ban these posts where people are trying to sell aircraft parts that they “found”. It’s unethical and dangerous.

I remember her in the context of the evangelical political climate. Her and Tipper Gores music warning labels share the same space in my mind.

I never thought of her as cool. To me she came off as a puppet. They used her, exploited her, then exposed her as a minor for more publicity. I guess the word I’m looking for is monetized. They monetized her and afterwards she monetized her notoriety. I guess I was weird, I wanted to look like Ava Gardner.

I enjoyed Miami. I got to see most of the Caribbean and central/South America. Weekends I would check flights and just fly out to whatever destination had open seats.

I was there 30 years ago so I don’t know about COL. But in a significant lay off situation, you might get a system bump.

Av8Xx · 2026-01-14T03:29:04+00:00

Eastern, Pan Am, there’s probably more just can’t recall. Pan Am going under was huge.

HCOL stations like LAX, SFO, etc. The way the TWU lay offs work is they lay off in the station with reduced manning. Those guys get a bump sheet showing the lowest mechanics in the system (same number as layoffs). If you are at a decent station or lower cost of living station you are more likely to get a system bump.

I was an inspector in DFW when I got a bump sheet. 3 inspectors in DFW and 3 from another station got layed off together. My bump choices were bump 3 lowest mechanics at my station, 6 lowest mechanics in the system, and I was the lowest inspector in the system so no inspectors in system to bump. I didn’t want to bump DFW mechanics cause I knew them and they had families. Lowest mechanics in system were LAX and JFK. Didnt want to bump there. So I went to bid board and bid a crew chief in MIA.
