Because some pilots have been saying that the APA TA is better than ours and the union didn't have their updated TA information to include in the various slides, CrewsNews information, etc. If they had not given the APA information for us to digest, the union would have been accused of hiding or ignoring the AA TA for some other conspiracy reason.
Reading APA's TA bullet points that came out a few weeks ago certainly don't give the full picture nor do they have context. I have no problem with the union giving us some comparisons with AA now that they have the information. I personally don't think their TA is anything to rave about and feel ours is better.
But let's be clear, I'm still voting NO because I don't think OUR TA is where it should be.
