Quick question – When American Airlines went on strike back in 1998, what President and party sold us down the river and called off our strike in 18 minutes?
Though I like the words, I’m not quite buying the party line yet. I’ll believe it when I see it.

When you say "Sold Us" are you implying that you are an AMR pilot?
Where is Occam, when we need him?
He is right here..... from a prrevious thread with the facts.....

They did. Clinton's counsel, Bruce Lindsay, contacted the APA President just prior to the strike deadline. He was told the APA would not object to a PEB.
Lindsay described the conversation to me personally during the end-game of our strike (which took place during Clinton's administration). Lindsay settled the strike by forcing the final issues down our managment's throat. It ended our B-Scale. I was there, in the room.

You're serious?
Get a grip!
If you had any clue about the number of lame ideas your Republican buddies tried to force on us, you'd slink away in shame.
A couple of the "great ideas" thwarted by Dems:
1. CRAF flying by foreign airlines. Bush's Defense Appropriations request two years in a row treid to outsource the transportation of our troops to foreign airlines.
2. McCain-Lott amendment to the RLA. Would've requred "baseball-style" arbitration to settle airline Labor impasses.
If you're unwilling to pay attention...don't ask stupid questions.
