I don't know what you are referring to in Eagle's contract that has been violated but I can assume it's the flow. I don't know anything about that but perhaps the language is a little grey.



I never said our contract wasn't concessionary. It certainly is. What I'm asking is, why all the PSA bashing when we are still in the top 3rd of regionals compensation wise? We gave a little to get a little. Our union has a longer term strategy where they think they can get not only increased hiring requirements from the new AA but also some give back on the concessions.

The insurance sharing is definitely another concession. The full amount will take effect in 2017 and will cost me 8 dollars more a month than what I'm paying now. I'm single. The most expensive family plan is looking at about 40 more per month. So it's there but its difficult to argue that its significant.

It was not right for AA to come to us for concessions given their financial standing but I can understand why people at PSA voted yes. It benefits a large majority of the pilot group, and those that it negatively effects will, in theory, be at AA within a couple years whereas they had pretty much no chance before.
