Sacrifice AA sen.# for AWA?

[justApilot]

Hey 80.....

From what I understand...Cecil and the furloughees had a gentlemans agreement that everyone who found work elsewhere was welcome to return to AA regardless of a letter of resignation. With da Kude....well....I think we all know where he stands.

TWA dude....

TWA Dude,

Just wondering, I was a jun 89 hire at TWA. Do you happen to know the seniority date of the most junior TWA person still on the list at AA.

Thanks

17DEC96. Lots of guys were hired in '96 so with the anticipated furloughs in the coming months it'll be a while before they get through them.

Maybe not. I realize it's difficult for people like you to understand, but I'm proud to have flown for TWA. TWA hired me and AA furloughed me. I like my handle and I like my avatar so I ain't changing 'em. Thank you for your suggestion.

Naw, guys like you .........

Hey dude, spit it out....what are you trying to say?

Hey dude, spit it out....what are you trying to say?

Whaddya mean, what am I trying to say? I simply responded to your statement, "With the way APA caves on seniority integrations you may end up in a better number when AA buys AWA" You implied that the TWA seniority integration was a cave-in by the APA. You're welcome to your opinion but you did little to address the question that started this thread, and hence opened yourself up to what you got.

Don't worry; I'm sure you get to keep your job because you deserve it and I got furloughed because I deserved it.

Dude...I don't wish a furlough on anyone.

TWA Dude,

I have never posted a message on this forum before but I feel I need to now. I am furloughed from AA and am one of the several hundred American hires (not Eagle flowthru) who will always be junior to all TWA pilots.

I was in the August 6 class and was in training on 9-11. American kicked both my class as well as the August 22 class out with no recall rights. I will forever be grateful for the way the APA stood up for us and secured our recall rights.

No one "deserves" to be furloughed and many people have been hurt by all this. However, blaming the APA is not the way to deal with your disappointment.

Abby:

I'm sorry you got dragged into this as I have no desire to propogate these silly arguments any further. I actually wasn't blaming the APA for anything; this guy justApilot was. I simply responded to HIS whinning. My "deserving" statement was dripping with sarcasm and meant only for justApilot.

 

[justApilot]

Now I am whinning? Speaking of sarcasm...dude...that was the intention of my original post. And as far as helpful input to this thread I did mention that AA in the past has misplaced all of the resignation letters and recalled everyone that wanted to return to AA. What Hoss needs to do is make a few calls to the APA and the company to find out what he ,along with everyone else on furlough or expecting to be furloughed, can expect from the company this time around.

There are 2 groups which have contributed the most to this process which resulted in me being furloughed.

1) Arab terrorists
2) APA

I hate them both equally! Although lately the APA may be pulling into the lead.

Pylut:

The APA has told us (former) STL guys many times that the APA doesn't furlough anyone; only AA does. I guess that comforts you as much as it comforts us.
