Hi Timbo,

The devil is in the details: no pay cuts up front but elimination of night + int'l override PLUS the proposed pay banding vs. equipment pay = a pay cut for many of us.

Our negotiators continue with their counter proposals but the company has not indicated any initiative to budge. Looks like it might be getting ugly here soon. Many of our pilots really think AMR is the next Eastern based on this. I continue to remain confident we will hash out a deal and AMR will emerge - but the APA needs to start playing hard ball for that to happen.
