Yes 4 on 4 off is a great schedule. Fatso dont like it much but out of all of the AWS schedules I think 4 on 4 off is best. You have your choice of just working the 4 on 4 off and get an additional 50 days off per year plus save all vacation for pay in lieu (4 days off every week is like a vaction every week) or working all of the O/T and making over $140,000. Your choice

Masterchief, You of all people should know those "retirees" through an agency are only there temporary until all 1 for 1 placement happens, reskilling and buydowns. Once that happens here comes the zone forcing. Why would you fabricate a post to spin a lie? Chicago has been posted 5 times and no one wants to go there.

Over 900 trades leaving and only 600? in production/ILO , I have a feeling everyone will get a opportunity to get back into the trades. See you guys soon, looking forward to working with you

Oh if you want overtime then AWS is for you. The company will never man the shifts with proper coverage, always running short. They somehow want to ignore the fact that when equipment runs nearly 7/24 that the preventative maintenance is a secondary thought. They would rather run it till it breaks causing unnecessary down time during production than actually doing the PMs and run more units. You will make a ton of money on the AWS if that's what you want. If management ever got smart and actually did the PMs instead of fabricating paper work they could build tens of thousands more units per year.

Most of our trades that took the incentive will be leaving June, July and August. So most of you guys should be back by August. I am happy for all of you returning, looking forward to working with you in a few months

I heard the number was close to 700 trades signed up for the 100,000 as of Wednesday. 750 trades leaving is not out of the realm of possibility. Unbelievable foresight on the uaw to get you guys back in trades. Welcome back. I would have never guessed so many are leaving.

You should be back in your trade fairly quickly. Management is scrambling to understand reskilling and backfilling now.

Management is scrambling here to get the electrical reskillers on shortly after the March 9th window closes.

You want job security then your best choice is the rouge

Ya I also love the AWS 4 on 4 off. Never want to go back to 5 day. Dont knock AWS. Try it youll love it. Like Pioneer says,,,,, and I agree

Thanks Uawfactoryrat. I heard 400 last week and figured it went up closing in on 500 Jerrymaker, 466 is exactly 100% of 466 taking the 100,000 incentive,,,,,,,,,,,, Hope this helps

With the new investments at LAP, MAP and DTP you can expect 20 weeks of Electrician training served up at AAI. Posting for Electricians is the first step in new product investments and shift additions
