Of my two earlier posts, the Moak/Anderson got most of the attention. I'm curious how the AA pilot negotiations will work. It sounds like they can improve on what they already have? Anyone understand the new negotiations?

Sky Talk: Pilots to begin contract negotiations with American in July

"Given American Airlines' competitive position, it is our firm view that meaningful improvements to our current collective bargaining agreement — an agreement reached under duress during Chapter 11 bankruptcy — must be on the negotiating table," the union said in its message to members. "We look forward to a healthy bargaining dialogue with the new management team that reflects the dramatically improved state of American Airlines and the industry itself."

Although the APA negotiated a new contract with American while it was in bankruptcy, the pilots need to negotiate a new joint contract that will cover both the American and former US Airways pilots.
