I ask you, sir, can you give me one example where a Neville Chamberlain appeasement by a pilot group has resulted in success?
"Neville Chamberlain Appeasement". Now that I know who I'm dealing with it will be a little easier to ignore. Although, I do find it ironic that an American Pilot (considering the nickname and all) uses Neville Chamberlain as an example. Funny stuff...
I am trying to get some discussion on the track record of the use of concessions by pilots as a means to progress the profession.
How's that working out for you?
To answer your question though, sir, it all depends on your perspective. One could easily argue both sides. For starters you still have your pension. As a matter of fact AA is the only Passenger airline with a pension still intact and considering you have no idea what it's like to enter Bankruptcy, since AA has never been there, I will tell you that your pension would have disappeared.
There must be a lot of TWA pilots still on the property at AA if they were able to sway the decision of 13000 pilots on that last contract. Using your own words, hopefully the AA pilots will "repair their damage" on this next contract and set the standard high for the other airlines instead of setting them low like they did after 911. There seems to be a trend here.
And to think, you brought this subject up.
