Thank God for AMR Pilots!

[SnowBoardBum]

CavePilot you would spit in my face....wow. I would expect better from someone in your 'profession'. I'm honored to say I don't share my profession with you.

 

[labbats]

If you're not in this profession then you don't understand how far the AA pilots are sticking their necks out for this. You don't have to start over at zero if your airline fails, but pilots do.

 

[SnowBoardBum]

Just because I currently don't doesn't mean I didn't.

 

[Muskycat]

As an innocent bystander on furlough during this mess, I just want to thank all the AMR pilots for finally standing up to the continual degradation of this profession!

It may not end pretty, but the actions these guys have taken in the face of adversity is absolutely amazing and admirable. We all owe our collective "future" contracts to these men and women who have stood proud and defied what is likely to be an ugly barrage by the media and company alike.

I for one, though I may never see the benefits, appreciate what you have done for the future pilots of this industry.

I'll be watching from my lofty retirement perch as this all plays out, but know that my prayers and well-wishes are for a better future...for all pilots!

Really? AMR pilot group was one of the first to take pay cuts and start the down ward movement. Get a clue.....

... and we will be the first ones to finally reverse that monumentally bad decision made by our forefathers and fight to the death for a restoration of this profession, refusing to repeat history.

Well, AA pilots will get the chance to start at the bottom very soon.

Is that what you are hoping for?

 

[Ops check good]

Um........ WHAT???? Correct me if I am wrong. Regardless what position you hold at an airline, when it fails and you get hired on at a new airline, how do you not start off at the bottom of said airline?

 

[J.Otto]

Is that what you are hoping for?

Absolutely not. I don't wish unemployment on anyone, but keep up the job action and y'all wont have to worry about calling in sick no more!

You need management, management doesn't need you.Thats reality. In fact, it seems often unions don't need pilots either. Well, maybe those pesky dues.

They own the means of labor. Pilots are EASILY replaced.

It's much easier to replace a manager, it can be done overnight.

J. Otto,

Kind of hard to run an airline with no pilots and I am not sure AMR can find 7500 of them in short order.

Managers, well that's pretty easy, heck even CEO's are easy, particularly since apparently one doesn't even have be qualified at the job.

To sum it up:
An airline without pilots = grounded
An airline without management = a weekend

 

[SXMp2c]

it is amazing how many pro-managment a$$hats trolling the FI. Its like Horton sent out retarded henchmen.

While technically true, those AMR pilots would NEVER walk off the job. Someone has to make those home, boat and ally payments.... even if they have to shuttle to the terminal with their tails btwn their legs... and at half the pay - they will be more than happy (read:grateful) to fly AAs metal.

 

[T-1GUY]

Apparently someone left the gate open at the zoo... They are really coming out of the woods now..

 

[G4dude]

" I haven't seen what AA is offering. What specifically is so bad about the new deal? " - G4Dude

After all your pontification on the subject, you then admit you have not even taken the time to educate yourself on the situation?

Wow.

And now for the obligatory F.I. Personal Attack(s) :

I'm not sure who's MORE Effed-up here....G4, or those of you who have been going round and round with him.






Keep up the good work here Men, the future of AA and the Free World depends on it...!


Whine

I was not careful enough when asking my question. What I meant was, what specifically are the AA people upset about?

 

[Mamma]

G4, you are embarrassing yourself, with all due respect.

 

[Dizel8]

While technically true, those AMR pilots would NEVER walk off the job.

I wouldn't count on it, certainly nowhere near enough to run the airline, but maybe you could help them out with that, you seem like the sort that would.

 

[waveflyer]

Seriously? You don't know about the $billions in bonuses that management has paid themselves in the last decade that roughly equal the concessions that pilots have took over the same time?

You've been this prolific with your opinion and you didn't even f^cking know??

 

[jetflier]

While technically true, those AMR Executives would NEVER walk off the job. Someone has to make those country club, yaht and mistress payments.... even if they have to shuttle to the headquarters with their johnson btwn their legs... and at half the pay - they will be more than happy (read:grateful) to manage AAs metal.

Now,.... this guy is funny!!!
