AA pilots crapping on their airline

Are you kidding? The APA agreed to that?

Nothing to agree to. APA does not have trip guarantee. If a flight or the whole trip cancels, you don't get paid. The company is simply making them an offer to get paid for these cancellations in return for giving up their off days for the rest of the month.

If they have any takers, that another question.

No trip guarantee? Was that part of the concession package, or has it always been that way over there?

PS. I found that American agreed to compensate their hours.....good.... anyway, doing sh!t like this it brings them all on step closer to the unemployment line. American is a premier airline doing the best it can to try to stay in business. They SHOULD BE THANKFUL THEY HAVE A JOB!

And how many years do you have under your belt with American, Captain? None??? Oh...then why don't you let the APA and their pilots fight THEIR battle?

Probably some desk jockey green with envy wishing he was a pilot...

Here's a flight attendant that really crapped on AA. If she hates AA so much, why doesn't she quit?

You should tend to your own knitting, bootlicker. Fortunatly, the worlds largest airline has seen fit to hire an outside consultant to deal with the FAA. Evidently they got to be the biggest airline without knowing how to maintain their aircraft. Strange that no one on property is up to he task. How much you figure this consultant will cost? At least no one will ever again have a reason to question mamagement.

That's "management" today. Anything comes up, you run out and hire a consultant. It's not just American, either. It's an industry-wide trend.

They are very very expensive, by the way.

Why should she quit? It's much better for her to speak out about the lousy bastards. She should be commended for having the courage to tell those rotten pieces of &^%$ what she thinks of them to their faces.

Oh their right-on allright, in that respect, but they should have been more noble. Passengers pay our salaries boys, and I"m sure they are rushing to buy tickets now, as if they were before stupid wiring harness issues, as if they were before that. The union is trying to capitalize on this whole thing by urging the pilots to SH!T WERE THEY EAT. Forgive those whining sniveling union a**es for they know not what they do.

I'm done. Nobody wants to rap if we aren't talking about Southwest.

GO BACK to your FOPA(Flight Options Pilots Ass.) meeting and the majors to the big boys. You wont find any anti-union love here skippy!

Remember their sick out in the late 90s?

Imagine you having a trip in a couple of days and you suspect that the guy you're flying with might call in sick for the next trip, you also know that the company is really short on reserves. What do you do? If the other guy call in sick and they can't find a reserve, they will cancel the trip and you don't get paid. The only way that you can make sure to get paid is to call in sick before the other guy does.

I think that's one reason their little sick out thing snowballed so of control. But to answer your question, I know its been like this for at least the last 10 years.

BE40 is a Flight options management lover. I appoloize to everyone for this digression. We are at the end, i.e. the ugly part, of our contract neg. We have a small portion of people who are out to save the world. We will give him the hairy eyeball, so as not to embarASS us again. At this point I return you to your regulary programing.
