AA pilots are frustrated because originally their contract was supposed to be amendable starting with openers in Jan 2017, but the pilot group stupidly traded big pay raises in 2015 for another 2 years on the contract with openers not until Jan 2019. Big, short sighted mistake.
2019 is too far away to predict the economic climate, fuel prices, etc.
