I personally am still on the fence, but feel as though a yes vote is necessary in order to secure the flying from being outsourced and prevent guys like me from being furloughed or moving backwards in seniority. I would prefer to not have to start over at another regional.
The TA locks us into a contract for 8 years..... right when the pilot shortage is supposed to happen giving us no way to negotiate better pay, work rules ect....
AA wants to reduce the 50 seat flying with or without the TA...There is no talk about new flying or new airplanes..
There is something fishy about the new seniorty pay scale.... People choose aircraft based on QOL around here... not because one pays more then the other.. We should be compensated for the sole called saving for the company..
2014 management can cut our pay...
If AA takes some of our planes ALPA gets money ...not the pilots
The pilots at AA have alot of leverage with managment....We will too so it would be stupid to take ourselves out of the equation...Luckly I havent met one pilot I have flown with that will vote for this TA..
