We keep looking to others to negotiate our contract. We have a great management team, a profitable company and reasons to expect that this team can negotiate the rapids ahead. We can't live in fear, uncertainty and doubt.
I would rather work under the current contract and wait, there are just too many concessions in this contract.
dragon,
I'm not following the bold text. Did you say essentially because they've been in negotiations for 5 years? That's because they asked for 50% raises, and got laughed at. Even with their current wages, they're well above a lot of other carriers. This is AMR's first trip to BK.
