More "great news" for junior pilots is that the APA agreed to sell out the A319 back to group 2 in order to improve the trip and duty rigs.
The rest of the agreement was awash in ambiguous language that would have allowed AA management to rewrite huge portions of the contract at will, such as the reserve system and the TTOT system.
I'm glad this pathetic offer went down in flames at the BOD level.
Yet it was close to making it past the BOD, but clearly would have been likely to fail at the rank-and-file level and rejection is rejection.
If they do simply just grease up the scheduling section and much of the rest is found to be the above, nothing changes except more time for AMR management eaten up. Sooner or later Parker will have his entire snout in the tent flap.
