The money lost in the upcoming months by AMR would go a long way towards paying for a decent contract. But they'd rather see us suffer. Instead of negotiating after the NO vote, what we are seeing is simply punishment.
This is not a rhetorical question. Haven't these tactics on the part of airline management been completely successful in the past? Is there anything else left to do, legally, except walk away from the profession or take what management offers? Are these management teams significantly different from Lorenzo and Icahn?
