Its going to be a very ugly few years in the AMR household. Expect the domestic abuse reports to keep coming!

Does this mean the AA's MD-80s are going to taxi even slower!!!!

Fight the good fight gents!!!

The email says a lot of pilots are facing termination. What are guys getting fired for at AA?

I hope it's not for not wearing a hat...

If it's for not respecting management, will the last one out please turn out the lights? TC

Thousands of professional pilots.

Putz.

Flyby1206 hit the nail on the head. It is going to be very nasty the next few years at AA. After managements rediculous bonuses and tactics you boys better step up to the plate and not back down! I could see this showdown coming down to a strike.

Not just MD80s... everything in the fleet! (Except on the last leg for us commuters, of course.)

I bet the AA guys will thank you for the pep talk. If there's one union that will stand up and fight it's these guys.

Where's your hat, mister!?

pkober--Yeah, "why can't we all just get along" is NOT APA's slogan... How's life at CAL? Hope you're doing well. TC

Like they fought in the spring of 03. Gave 23% with the threat of BK. Don't get me wrong I hope someone pilot group stands up, but I am not counting on it. AA will threaten BK and they will cave or they will stand strong and AA will file a sham BK like NW or DL and have a Texas judge take it from them.

I disagree. I believe Hill is a unrestrictive conduit for the feelings of the pilots. He won't water down the emotions of the pilot group or try to avoid a confrontation with a confrontational company. TC
