BTW those that want to fight that battle we will be getting AA benefits soon enough.
The wholly owned travel benefits are the same as mainline.
You are not getting AA travel benefits. You are getting comparable travel benefits while employed at your contract carrier. AA travel benefits (which all wholly owned have) includes travel after retirement from either the wholly owned regional or the mainline. The time spent working at the regional carries over to AA when we flow towards earning retirement travel benefits.
You're getting travel while employed; not even close to the same thing.
