Like others have said, many, many also made it out like bandits. Top dog seniority/bennies at eagle, go over at 4th year pay with retro bennies and skipping reserve and the suicide decade at AA, flowing just in time for an 100K BK check.
You are looking at it completely wrong. They were sold a crappy contract in the late 90's while being told they'd all be at AA within a couple of years. Sound familiar? They waited 13. If it had not been for 9-11 the AE-Envoy contract would have been the laughing stock of the industry. In fact, the flow stopped BEFORE 9-11 when AMR began buying other airlines.
