Apathy is our biggest enemy. We need APA (or merge with ALPA) to get the BOD all moving in the same direction. APA needs to be restructured, right now too many cooks in the kitchen with 22 BOD members.
We will never get the contract we deserve if we don't FIGHT for it.... and simply bailing for another airline won't help either.
I'm much less concerned about our contract than I am about the viability of the company moving forward. Long term 10-15 years out, where is AA at? From the looks of it, not in a good position. Delta/SWA/Spirit will continue to take our market share.
