The reason AA is keeping most of the flying at the WOs has to be either because:

2. They want to keep the profits, even if the WOs are more expensive.
If it's 1, then all three are on track to become more expensive, and at this rate it will be cheaper to give us more flying, as much as saying that makes me want to vomit.
If it's 2, then you/they voted in concessions for no reason, because according to that AA would have expanded the WOs just to keep the profits, even if they were the more expensive option.
First off they can't give you more flying if you can't hire more people right? Pretty much nobody really wants to go there with all the other opportunities available to them. So I don't think you'll have to worry about vomiting at all due to added flying.
Second, I am puzzled also in the fact that American needs the lift and I'm sure they need the pilots. Maybe they are beating down AWAC Pilots to rid it from the senior pilots (and to force a take it or leave it offer) and then in a swift move Parker comes in and allows PSA/PDT to acquire all the remaining AWAC assets that are left. (Basically the Pilots (PSA) & ground equipment and personal (PDT).
I think something needs to be done soon because AWAC can't keep losing pilots and American can't afford to start seeing flights cancelled by them for crews. Gonna get very interesting really soon.
