This blame for this lies SOLELY on USAPA's shoulders here and their inability to move on from their LUS contract. Do not turn your anger toward the company!
The lesson of the future in just what is the latest installment of a long list of "fine print" is that we can expect nothing in 2019 except disregard and table scraps with two choices; Take what little is offered, when it's offered or reject it and enjoy the present CBA for another 5-10 years of can-kicking. Again, the culture here has not only NOT changed, it's doubled-down on what was wrong with legacy AA in the first place. Additionally, the absence of any type of union leadership and the dysfunctionality of that leadership has also not changed. The "new" AA is simply the old AA with fresh wrapping and that includes the "Association".
If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten. Bank on it for 2019.
