AA pilots, don't let it get to you. You can't control much in the process, but you can learn from our mistakes and NOT sign a concessionary BK contract. Make the company get the judge to impose it. You'll be back in Section 6 sooner and you won't have the AMR spokesholes saying aggravating things like "we have consensual agreements in place with all of our unions and we intend to enforce them".
Nice post snake, when thist first hit amr I was telling my american friends the same thing. Those brothers and sisters at other airlines can really salivate right after shaking your hand and telling you how much they feel for the position your in.
Our Mec chair even mentioned a couple of those airlines in one of last emails.
