If you disagree, do so like an adult and list the LEGAL aspects that are different- without your usual derogatory , childish, inappropriate, inaccurate, name calling. Do you ever get sick of writing the same old stuff? Don't you realize that at some point you start to get diminishing returns?
The success of the American pilots requires careful consideration of successes/failures of the past.
No, yes, no. The usairways court situation has nothing to do with the American situation legally. For one the east had a union leadership that was actively promoting a job action, something you won't see at amr, and on top of that the amr pilot's don't have a "control" group like the west provided to usairways management. Those 2 facts alone make this a completely different legal landscape. I am sure the amr pilots have learned some lessons from the past and will handle this in a much smarter way.
