I just cannot give that much on Scope.
AMR and the media portray this as a 4% raise, 2% raise the next year, 2% raise the next year then industry standard the 4th year of this 6 year deal.
So that NEVER NEVER NEVER could we AA pilots raise the bar like DAL UAL and SWA (UAL + 3% or DAL + 3%). Yet the loss of night pay, the loss of Int'l override pay on reserve (if you don't fly on reserve you don't get int'l override pay of CA $6 hr and FO $4.00 hr) For me becomes a small pay cut.
If this passes even though i'm voting NO, I would have to apologize for AA pilots never able to raise the bar for our fellow aviators(trix's) at the other majors.
We have never raised the bar in my career. For that i'm truly sorry.
I have lots of fight in me! I will fight.
Thanks you to the pilots of United Airlines and the pilots of Delta Airlines for standing firm and raising the bar. I regret that my compatriots at AA seem to not want to fight for what is rightfully all of our profession.
This contract would if passed with it's subjective words, would allow only a ISC never an ILC for the next decade.

You already gave on scope -- the judge agreed with the company's 1113(c) motion and rejected our contract. From here on out, the company can do pretty much whatever they want on scope unless we ratify a contract that says otherwise. The scope in the TA is far from perfect, but it's leaps and bounds beyond the term sheet and in the ballpark of UAL/DAL. Voting no is essentially voting yes to no scope.
