The pay parity review is still in effect.

Parker and crew are rapidly wearing out their welcome, by placing old guard AA types into key positions, then allowing these idiots to try the same old management style that didn't work in the past. John Conrad is an idiot! He gets to emotional and too personal when it comes to negotiations. When he was the pilot rep for the company 12 years ago, he was an impediment to advancement, so it is no surprise that he hasn't changed a bit since then. He was placed on the company negotiating team about a month ago, and soon after that all progress on the reserve issues came to a screaching (?) halt.

We will see how this all works out.

There are some improvements to be had for both sides that are no cost items, but it appears that AAL has drawn a line in the sand on this reserve and FAR 117 stuff, so don't think that we will anything in the near future.

We, both the AA pilots and US Air, pilots need to realize who the real enemy is here and start working together to resolve the issues. US pilots filed a lawsuit early and that could be diverting necessary resources away from the battle, not good in my mind.

Best to all of us.
