All have WAY better items we are now forced to "negotiate" for. They are basic pattern bargaining items. That's how bad it is, LAA pilots don't even know how far behind they are. None of what I put above are GETS!!!! They are common items in an average mainline contract. So the concern should be; What are we going to give up to get average? None of the items I listed should even be negotiated. We should give up NOTHING to get them. Oh and Profit Sharing also falls in that class. PS should never be a tit for tat item. It's a standard at all airlines.....hells its a standard at many large company's. I pity our group think stupidity.



What will you give up to get something everyone else already has????? Doug and teams wet dream question........with LAA and APA they get to resest pattern bargaining for everyone else. Come

on down to AA contracts....I dont think a lot of our pilots know how bad this contract is, and how long it will take to even become "average". Sad, just sad.

I am really blessed to have the job I have. The other day I did a turn and had a grin ear to ear as we were taxiing away from the gate. I couldn't think of a better 'career' besides professional surfing with sabbaticals for cigar smoking and whiskey drinking.

That being said:

I hope every AA pilot understood drinksonme's post. This should be cut and pasted along with the list a few posts above and put into sound-offs to the union, and emails in regards to 'culture change' to Doug/Isom/Kimball. This should be discussed during every trip, it's getting pathetic how many folks have no idea just how far behind we really are.

As the worlds largest airline we are so far behind. In the last crew news, Isom (during his 'trajectory' tangent) acknowledged there's a way to go with a lot of things, including compensation! He's exactly right, but compensation includes QWL items too. There isn't a d*mn thing wrong with having an INDUSTRY LEADING contract for C2020, and we really have nothing left to 'give.'
