AA Statement on Pilots' Protest

AMERICAN AIRLINES COMMENTS ON UNION DEMONSTRATIONS

FORT WORTH, Texas - American Airlines released the following statement from Jeff Brundage, senior vice president - Human Resources, regarding public demonstrations today by the Allied Pilots Association. Brundage noted that the demonstrations are informational in nature and are not expected to disrupt the airlines normal operations.

American Airlines respects the rights of organized labor to conduct public demonstrations to distribute information to passengers and the public.

"However, it is very disappointing that the Allied Pilots Association would engage in negative tactics such as picketing on the door step of a valued customer in a direct attempt to harm American -- a company that provides meaningful careers to thousands of employees and valued air service to communities across the world. We are sorry for any inconvenience to our customers and their employees.

We recognize our employees work hard to serve our customers. Weve historically paid our employees at or near the top of the airline industry and we continue to do so today. We are committed to working cooperatively with the pilots union to achieve a mutually beneficial agreement that is responsive to the needs of our pilots, shareholders and other constituents.

"Because American has been able to avoid bankruptcy, our employees are far better off than those at airlines that took that route, voiding contracts and walking away from pension obligations. It is unfortunate that, instead of capitalizing on those advantages and seeking ways to work together to run the best airline possible, the APA is relying on these destructive tactics.

It should be clear that the future of American Airlines is wholly dependent on the continued trust and patronage of our customers. We believe our energy would be better spent strengthening the company, serving our customers and fighting the competition.

Brundage--Former ALPA rep. I guess HE passed the "no scruples" exam with flying colors.

Question: How can you tell the slowest runner at AMR is?

Answer: He'll be the one with footprints on his back after the PUP is doled out this month... :angryfire TC
