That too was as a result of an arbitration award (in fact, the same award) due to Nicolaus determination that these pilots were unfairly held back from flowing when they should have. As a result, these pilots DID get pay and B-fund credit, but no vestation in their A-funds, which was a significant blow.
Yup, AMR f'd them for sure with the A-Fund. Notice how I said AMR, not AAG. Listen man, it's not called a lost-decade for nothing. People got hosed big time, nobody is arguing that. However, I would hardly say that the past-precident of a defunct management should be the reason why someone does not put value in our flow. Is it perfect? No way. But it's what we have, it's not too bad, and it's working as advertised.
