Yeah I really don't like the A mechanic program through ready sc. It reminds me a lot of the pay scale that michelin brought in a few years ago. Pay people 6 bucks less per hr and think they are going to work beside the other guy doing a job that is worth a shit. For that matter they would do any job worth a shit for $13/hr. I would suggest sticking to the jobs on Boeings home site. That way you don't have to deal with the contract companies. As a blue badge you pretty much have to have porn on your company phone or threaten someone to get fired.

It really depends on what area you work in though too, some managers see everyone the same and some don't, the people that I work for are great, I work over in AFT Body. I actually got brought on as a contractor after applying for a direct job, they are bringing a lot of people on as contractors and seeing how you work out before bringing you on as a direct.

A lot of managers in the 19 and 20 buildings will treat you the same as the blue badge guys. FWIW I do think if Joe had been a Boeing employee he would still be here, but keep in mind I only know what he told me. I don't think Boeing is any worse on the contractor vs direct issue than any other big company.
