Yep, something's up. Ed just resigned (effective immediately), 5 documents were rushed to completion, recalls on the AA side stopped last month, etc...

I'm going to end up being senior to myself, one way or the other!

Careful what you wish for... AMR doesnt play nice

Neither does this place, only the very feeble minded believe they do!

You have no Idea what you are wishing for, there is no way that it could turn out well for you guys

Whatever you do, please, please just go to arbitration for the SLI if this happens at all. Or, you can hire some ex SWA leaders to come in and try to bully other groups around. And get some more pay raises while you're at it. We would all like you guys to go as high as possible. Good luck.


Bye Bye---General Lee

No, there isn't any way any kind of merger/integration will turn out well for us, regardless of who it is with. That is part of the danger of having management write our integration language and management being our negotiating entity, but that is what 1193 pilots thought were just peachy!

But, back to the original statement, I have no problem with AMR buying us and whatever happens, happens!

 

[$$$4nothin]

No they don't.

They also have 6500 guys retireing over the next 10-15 years and have an order for how many airplanes. This would tip the NY and BOS markets back in AA's direction vs. the Delta direction. Not to mention AA would get the carribean back. Market share, cash, aircraft, experienced pilots with a lot of time left to work.

Just another internet rumor with a timely retirement thrown in the mix here guys.

Oh ya. The JB pilot group might be in a bit of trouble in a merger. Some more than others, but yes, maybe in a bit of trouble.

Guys like you, and statements like the above, scared a good percentage of the no voters. Fatalistic B.S. thrown in with a know it all/everyone else is stupid or feeble kind of attitude makes you sound emotional and not worthy of listening to. Stop calling people stupid, maybe they thought you and the other over emotional "change everything types" weren't worthy enough to listen to. Management out classed us with the non union literature and comments like yours drove people right in to thier hands. You're fighting yourself and you don't realize it. So in the future shut the ##ck up and let guys logically run a union drive who don't emotionally attack everything.

 

[OurMoney1]

Let's be realistic guys...

Flightinfo posts and mergers equate to nothing, zip, elephant turds.

Your CFO probably got in a pissing match with the BOD or CEO over earnings and or book keeping ethics. Worse yet he may have been doing something illegal. Sounds like it was a bad departure based on the press release. Something bad most likely but nothing industry shattering.

Keep everything in perspective and dont get nutty.

I am sorry, I don't think I was emotional at all, as a matter of fact, why don't you point out what part is untrue in my statement. One could actually argue, that all the ill thought out logic and irrational emotion was coming from the anti CBA contingent. "The only thing ALPA can guarantee is a 2% paycut. They will take away FliCa and the Kew Shuttle. Our retirement is only 3% behind!" Nope, that wasn't illogical at all.

So, let's try this again? Without a CBA, who is our bargaining agent, who wrote the merger language, who will enforce an integration?

As for your last sentence, I'll be nice and chalk it up to stress or adult beverages!

Tip NYC in AA's direction? Ummmmm, maybe not. DL has 50% of LGA now, and JB doesn't have that many LGA slots. AA would gain a lot at JFK, but what would happen to AA's large new terminal at JFK? It isn't even close to the JB terminal. Would they sell that one?


Bye Bye---General Lee
