Middle finger to AA Managment

[G4dude]

Hey, it's not MX fault either.

You can point directly to Horton for trying to screw every labor contract on the property. I wouldn't be surprised if he got MORE money for every contract he got thrown out. He looks more and more like Lorenzo.

He'll walk away with millions on the back of every labor group.

Horton and Lorenzo are there for basically the same reason, to preside over the diminution of a company rendered worth more dead than alive by the unions, in my opinion. I hope I am wrong about this. AA has some good people.

you're being watched- by Feds, by lawyers, investigators-

Now that you mention it, I have noticed a black Lincoln town car parked down the block for a few days.

What would you do if you were happy with your contract? Thats what you should be doing. Its a lot more likely for a positive outcome in the end if along the way things don't keep getting increasingly difficult.

MX probably isn't getting there quick enough because they are dealing with several other planes with a sheet of write ups on them. Please don't blame MX.

Curious, what contract do you work under?

What, you live in the sixties? Now it's Dodge 300's.

Nope, not the sixties. Check wikipedia........"The Lincoln Town Car is a full-size luxury sedan that was sold by the upscale Lincoln division of Ford Motor Company; it was produced from 1981 to the 2011 model years."

And, sorry but I had to do it. The 300 is made by Chrysler, Dodge makes the charger. They are the same car tho so we can let it slide.

No real maintenance problems???

I'd say having a row of seats pop loose inflight is a glaring example of less-than-stellar maintenance work.

Yeah, the APA will fight like crazy to keep a substandard pilot in the cockpit. They are really concerned about safety.

What sub-standard pilot are you referring to?

The guy is a fool to make that statement, he doesn't know what he's talking about and is about on the same level of a doddering Walmart greeter with the early signs of dementia.

I however know the issues involved from both sides of the house from training at DFW and SAV during my corporate/airline experience.

Sure, you never saw "reputable" big name training companies play games in passing the DOs and Chiefs of their clients. I never saw a failure in that world when there should have been.

I have seen problem children culled from an airline from as early as riding on the flight to the interview as well as after 20+ years. There is nowhere to hide. their fellow pilots will raise the red flag with the Union which will speak with the person, if that tactic fails, the FO's start refusing to fly with a problem child, passenger evidence amounts, and at some point the union will turn the guy over to the company (fellow union Chief Pilots) if the problem child won't reform. If there is no fix, the pilot gets fired.

The only thing I see the union fighting for is to make sure all the i's a t's are dotted and the paperwork is in order. Eliminating the personalities of BS managers trying to make their bones or points while playing politics or favoritism is what seems 99% of the unions defense of pilots consist of. Of course we all know that isn't a problem at most 91/135 Flight Departments, especially those looking for a fluffer job from a well known biz aviation rag that has "pilot" in it's name.

A/C seats are not always easy to secure and are extremely obvious when you do not get it right. That being said the 757 has been around for a long time. Probably not a design flaw. So one can come to whatever conclusion one wants. I still would not blame MX, atleast not AA MX. The outsourced heavy MX well.... maybe but seats do NOT become unbolted for any reason if properly installed in the first place. No mechanic would sign something off if he/she did not believe it was performed correctly, so....

For about a week out of a certain base, many planes were unable to pressurize our potable water system... yes, there was one new guy that was leaving the fill valve in the wrong position. I wouldn't be surprised if the investigation finds a common denominator to each of the seat incidents.

Now it's up to 30 rows of seats in the 757 that were loose.

Is your career logging onto pilot web sites and seeing if there's any info on here to accuse the APA of a job action?

 

[Smarta$$]

I'm pretty sure he is NOT a 121 line pilot.

No, that sounds boring.

Aaaaaaannnnnnddddd with that post it is clear that you are a troll. Does Ford and Harrison pay you to do this? What's the pay and QOL?

 

[Ops check good]

Im glad you have a career back up plan if you lose your flying job. You will be a great detective.

Iow: go troll somewhere else - every pilot in the country supports APA pilots and feel for them in the hostile work environment AMR has placed them in- and none of us are stupid enough to give you anything that can be used against them- its not a job action, they are doing the best they can in a bankrupt company publicly trying to make APA pilots the villains, when any small amount of research would show how AMR mismanagement and unbelievable greed and thievery has caused the bankruptcy.

Again, be pros and be careful APA, it's a sh!tty situation you're in-- and we ALL support you

This guy or gal seems to be having a monologue (yes a monologue) with a schizophrenic. Early warning signs?
