Again trade seat for seat , NOT airplane for airplane and we don't lose any seats to scope. If they don't wanna play, then they won't get any airframe changes they need with us going to arbitration.. Thoughts?
What about the three card monte game they're playing with the "Delta" pay offer ? What about complete ignorance of the other issues ? What about the fact AA pilots will lag Delta significantly in all respects including pay, scheduling and other areas ? Even Spirit, Jet Blue and others have pay scales better then ours and work rules too. What about all the things Parker represtned over the last weeks and months and now this ?
Can you.................no, WOULD YOU really ever trust this guy to play fair and live up to anything he said ?
I think you need to accept that Parker's vision for us is a Walmart low-cost labor existence with massive outsourcing.
