[QUOTE=1257;1033364]There are reports that the APA and American mgmt. have agreed on industry leading ~ FedEx payscales.
Obviously since AmEagle is being separated from AMR, scope will also be critical for the American pilots.
The TA is supposed to be out by Oct. '11
Can anyone familiar with an AMR pilot who's been to one of the APA roadshows confirm what APA is advising/releasing?[/QUOTE]

The only mention of something around October was in response to how soon could a TA be offered to the membership? "Maybe as soon as October, or maybe September, if things keep moving along. However all the hard issues are ahead and it could grind to a halt at anytime."

Two (?) weeks later the two sides reached an impasse on scheduling issues. Negotiating Chairman and APA President met with Arpey and apparently the AA negotiating team received permission to move off of their position.

Since then nothing significant has been said. So is October possible? Yes. Is it likely? Who knows. SW/FedEx pay rates? Who knows.

P.S. why is this in the UAL/CO merger section?
