In our "crew news sessions" he has for years said it was "the right thing to do to pay us all the same" all the while find every excuse not to. He has played us against each other. The F/As just overwhelmingly turned down their T/A without a seniority fight........
Parker acts in his best interest. It's been in his best interest to capitalize on his pilots division. He knows it's also now in his best interest to merge, so he'll try to do whatever is necessary for that.
Despite false claims otherwise by a certain AA management person, most pilots at AA would be willing to sit down with Parker vs. AMR's term sheet annihilation.
