Remember AMR's 80 for 80 pins?

In the mid 1990's AMR distributed 80/80 Pins. It represented what AMR wanted to do. It wanted Eagle pilots to fly the MD80 for $80k a year.

Looks like AMR did it and the pilots are now silent and gutless to stop it.

What does this order have anything to do with the MD80 and/or $80,000/yr?

Don't feed the troll.

Gutless? No.

Powerless? Thanks to another f'ed up arbitrator, yes.

Yes- gutless.

Just where is your line in the sand? Doesn't affect you, right? Those a/c should be flown by mainline and you know it. Simply show up to hdq w/ several thousand resignations and stand up!

But maybe you're a bit too cowardly for that. Much easier to blame the system, than to take responsibility and do something.

But make sure you complain to every liberal you see how this country is falli g apart bc nobody takes responsibility anymore.

You have more power than you think. You just have to sieze it. Seems all of you legacy guys have been unwilling for a decade.

For the record, AMR did not make those pins/stickers. An American Eagle pilot did. I know. I was there.

Also for the record, very few Eagle pilots supported the campaign. Even then most realized that they would be cutting their own throats.

Keep mainline planes at the mainline. Otherwise none of us have a future.

Sad to say, Mainline won't be flying those airplanes and those of us on furlough won't either.

What other pins can we think of...

S340's for $3.40

I thought they were MD88's? WTF
