Bankruptcy contract? What? The total contract value is substantially more than even LAA had back then. Stop with the hyperbole.
I don't think it matters how much the company makes with how much we should get paid. Pay us what our peers make, which we get except for profit sharing (mostly because AA isn't as profitable) and who cares if the company is rolling in the dough or burning money.
Again labor doesn't own the company, the shareholders do.
When regionals have better line construction, more control over PBS, more control over days off, better schedule flexibility, better paying OT provisions, holiday pay, better bonuses, more pay credit during training, more flexibility with vacation blocks it shows the sad state of our work rules and contract.
Please explain how a contract that is woefully deficient in work rules, lacks in soft pay, that had rates that got AA pilots back to parity with what they had prior to 2003 and signed during bankruptcy is hyperbole.
