We've got the same movement afoot at our home base, and it's definitely a threat to the tail gate
mechanics on the field. We're hoping an agreement is reached that they can live with.

Not to quibble, but my friend's shop is far from a tail-gate affair.
His shop is as complete as any I've seen, with everything from a full
screw/nuts/bolt/washer inventory, to engine hoists and jacks, to air
tools and compressors.

But, he's a one-man show, and that is apparently a very difficult
situation in today's aviation climate.
