The purpose of this petition is to shed light on the decision to terminate AMT Andrew Pena. An incomplete investigation with falsified information was used as justification for termination. As some of you may know, the “misconduct” in question occurred during park crew on day shift. A CR1 entry was made with untrue statements such as "not in work area" and "acts of insubordination". Both of these accusations have been proven to be false per our TWU Union Contract and video surveillance. Surveillance clearly shows mechanic in question awaiting work assignments in work area and parking aircraft throughout the lunch hour. Furthermore, CR1 entries, per company policy, cannot be used in disciplinary action. Be that as it may, American Airlines used the CR1 filed to drive the decision to terminate and violated Article 28 of the TWA/AA CBA.
It also stands that an incomplete investigation was held. Management did not review video surveillance when asked, did not question members of the park crew, and only questioned management staff with minimal knowledge of the issue at hand. These false accusations in turn affected the 150 day review due to the CR1 entry, and an unjust decision was made partly because only management staff with no prior knowledge to the mechanics work ethic and history were questioned.
In short, we believe that Andrew Pena was not given a complete investigation, was punished unjustly, and false statements were used in the CR1 entry. Let us show our support for our fallen union brother to back up work ethic, history, and grievance against American Airlines. With support from courageous American Airlines employees, we believe that this petition can reach upper management and a more complete investigation can be completed. Please show your support with by signing; thank you.

American Airlines is banking on us staying quiet while they hide behind their crooked investigation of Andrew Pena. I have spent the last few days hammering the grievance committee to demand they cough up the footage that proves their CR1 entries are total lies. They think they can fire our brother and bury the truth under a mountain of false paperwork but they are dead wrong.

The sheer number of you standing behind Andrew shows that American Airlines cannot ignore this charade any longer. Management thought they could hide their lies behind a broken investigation but we are forcing them into the light. This momentum proves they messed with the wrong crew.

Andrew is a well mannered and polite person who has shown nothing but consideration and cooperation with the AA team. He is always helpful and in my opinion had nothing but the safe and timely maintenance of AA's aircraft as his number one priority. He is a valuable team member who will be greatly missed if this miscarriage of justice is not rectified.
Andrew is a great mechanic and an excellent worker. It's hard enough to get good workers, but to fire them unjustly is terrible. For a company that claims to be a "premier " employer, AA talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk.
As far as I'm aware this young man 22 years of age has always followed instructions given to him for any job assignment. Never failing to complete his tasks as long as those instructions were clear and delivered in the appropriate manner with clear communication. Will be a good company asset if allowed.
I worked with Andrew several times and found him to be a compotent mechanic . We should continue to use Andrews abilities at Aa. Signed m dejager 174956
Great mechanic, always volunteering to help other mechanics with their jobs.
Andrew Pena is a good mechanic, willing to learn, and has great work ethic. He would not do anything with malicious intent

I worked with Andrew on a number of tasks. He was helpful, knowledgable of both the tablet maintenance manual and the logbook procedures. Never once did I have to look for him when assigned a job together. He was always helpful, engaged, and pleasant to work with. Should this decision stand it will be American Airlines loss.
