Yes I can confirm that the garage is getting very lonely here at saline. If all the mechanics who say they are leaving do not back out(we should find out very soon) then by spring there will only be me and two other mechanics left out of the 10 we had a year ago. We lost one to the last buyout that was not replaced. We have already lost 3 more to this buyout and we have 3 more to go of which one is a retirement as soon as he gets his time in for the year. We had 11 mechanics three years ago.
We here rumors that there is at least one mechanic that wants to transfer here from another ACH plant. Something is going to happen very soon or else saline will be screwed as far as having lift trucks to use......we are getting very behind in our inspections. We have 110 fork lift trucks, give or take, and a few dozen burden carriers and bicycles and tow motors and a lot of other equipment to service.
