I've heard ALPA there gave away a lot of transfer protections for a promise of transfer to AA and did so as part of a grievance resolution. The pilots I talked to were told after the fact, had no idea and when asked about why they did this on the sly, were told they could explain as it was part of a confidentiality agreement. Thus, now Eagle pilots have lost some protections in scope for watered down promises of future AA jobs, that won't even be there. AMR wanted this for divestiture and ALPA greased the skids. Now, they may be on plan B to use Eagle to become the majority of AA domestic and ALPA will now dance to that tune with a new confidentiality agreement.

Total insanity. IMO, for all intents and purposes, you guys don't even HAVE a union anymore, just an extention/subsidiery of AMR representing you.
