How much in cash bonuses did he take over the past many years during the concessionary contract period?
Do you not believe that the last 5-6 years were not a well Orchestrated
manipulation of the books for bonus programs ? Do you not believe that important maintenance and customer services were shortchanged to improve the quarterly bonus schemes? Crandall was a leader who wanted to grow the airline. the same cannot be said of Arpey. He is nothing more than a crisis management hack.
Who are you really ? "The time for finger pointing is past" WHAT...???
Just how delusional do you have to be to realize that the finger pointing will continue until we are made whole.
We have been lied to and robbed. Even the most junior pilot on the property has to work a minimum 4 years to recover what has been lost in the A Plan. Captains with many years of service will never recover their losses. Do you really believe the PBGC (Peanut Butter and Gelly Corp) will be around to payout their modest commitments? If the PBGC does survive, how long will it take to get paid ? I suspect most of us will be dead before that happens.
I suspect the time for finger pointing will be done on judgement day.

Just so you know, you're arguing with an AMR management lackey specifically here to blow their bugle on a pilots forum. Try not to get too worked up over it.......you'll never convince him of anything, because he's only here to convinve YOU of something.
