I do have a good feeling that I will get a call from UAL at some point not too far off as well, so my concerns are valid. I don’t want to be furloughed or give a pay concession or fly more for less on pairings because AAL is making decisions to sell more stock to shareholders in a time when interest rates could rise along with fuel prices in a culture where the pilots and company aren’t seeing eye-to-eye.

I’ve heard that AA nor the APA will even support an effort to pay its recalled pilots their full length of service pay. What does that say for an airline looking out for its junior pilots? What kind of culture is that? What can I expect for me if times get tough? Are they going to create another pay scale like they did in the 90s?

I’ve read all the books about Lorenzo and Crandall and know what these companies can do to their labor groups. And Parker didn’t start out as an airline guy. He has only led bankrupt companies and is in unfamiliar territory with a company making record profits. So I want to get some insight as to how true some of this stiff is for AA BEFORE I walk into the interview.

Still think I’m a troll you imbeciles?
