Flight cancellations surge at American Airlines

[V1rowt8]

Typical management, blame someone else for their own shortcomings. Gee, I can't begin to wonder why there would be such an unmotivated workforce.

Short-sighted so called M.B.A's think they control the airline. I'm certain the lot of them couldn't manage a whorehouse at a navy shipyard.

Thats funny right there!!! And true... Still laughing.

Not laughing for my airline brothers at APA.

word I'm hearing is that sick calls are actually no more than they were last spring. As far as write ups, maybe they need to hire more maintenance guys.

True dat. Pilot sick time is running average right now - no big spikes. Nice try, management... 20% increase??? yeah right.

F/As sick time is ATSRONOMICAL (of course, company never mentioned them.)

Mechanics all ticked off due to 4400 layoffs... Merry Christmas.

Oh, on top of that, we've got the FAA crawling ALL OVER our aircraft, procedures, and operations.

Overall, what we predicted with the No vote is happening exactly as we said it would. Now the company has suddenly approached APA wanting to negotiate again.... oh the irony.

I must say though airlining the other day, our taxi time at DFW from landing to the gate was 28 minutes! I could have literally walked faster than we were taxiing. I was pissed but, I get it---LET THAT MF BURN! Enjoy AMR management!

Which is better? A job in which one gets 70 percent of what he wants, or no job? In this economy especially? I feel these union guys are nuts.

Another empty office in Centerport today... Nice try, management plant. Whatsamatta, your CEO giving you a pep talk in your G4 about those overpaid underworked airline pilots?

No these guys are demonstrating courage in standing up to the erosion of our profession. I admire the hell out of the APA and it's members. AA management is overreaching and it is on display for all to see. Wait until boy wonder comes after the pilots at NJA. Are you just going to roll over and take it G4 in the midst of record company profits? Grow a pair.

^^^^ thanks, my fellow Blueridger. ^^^^

AA Pilots, boldly going where no pilot group has gone before! However, we must thank the pilot groups that have gone through BK before, acknowledging the fact that THEY were the ones who blazed the trails, illuminating the drastic steps we are taking (and must take, for the profession) today.

Some prefer to fight and die with a sword in their hands, some prefer getting on their knees pleading. We can clearly see which you'd choose.

Yeah, those pesky union guys.....that's the problem.

I'm an ALPA member. I for one would not mind being assessed some money to be spent helping APA. What does APA need right now? Money? Legal?

you have got to be one of the most clueless "pilots" I've ever seen, if you are even a pilot... do you even understand the industry you chose to work in?

 

[fam62c]

This is a good message to the creditors.....equity in a reorganized airline that doesn't work is worth little or nothing. Cramming something down the pilot's throats isn't going to result in a functional airline. There's a difference between what Horton wants and what he needs to get the company reorganized, he's going for a big land grab and it's not going to work.

How about 30%? Would you take 50%? How about 60%.... or 59.9%? Yeah..... you do pee sitting down and you probably don't even have a vagina!

something tells me he's work for free in order to save his boss... some people are inflicted with the worse sort of "protestant work ethic" imaginable..

YOU, Sir, are part of the PROBLEM!!
I guess living in gov. housing and having your bank account and property nationalized isn't so bad either. At least YOU are not facing a firing squad!!
Grow some will you!

Don't mind G4... He's a Netjets Gulfstream pilot... Was formerly on the NON-UNION Netjets International side... And has been pissed off and anti-union ever since he was forced to join the Netjets North America side and the in house union at Netjets...

He's probably the most despised poster on the fractional side.. His identity has never been revealed, but he is undoubtedly a feable man with very little backbone. We established that fact this time last year when the merger happened amongst the Netjets divisions.

He represents everything the furloughed Netjets pilots despise. An all about me attitude. He undoubtedly would screw over his fellow pilots to either save his own ass or for personal gain....

He is best suited for some corporate flight job where the aviation employees have to spend countless hours on their knees pleasing their bosses. Which is what he most likely did while at the non-union Netjets International division.
