The most shocking thing about everything that has happened recently is how in a matter of months we at AA went from being the envy of the industry with our LOAs back in April, to the laughing stock of it now.
Other Airlines and their unions are watching as APA blatantly tells 2500 pilots they're not worth saving. They're not important enough. Other airlines are bending over backwards to save their pilots from furlough. Or as many as possible at the least.
APA? Let's throw 2500 (or as many as it takes) pilots on the street rather than risk our senior pilots "only" make $25k a month vs $28k. There needs to be a serious reckoning of APA after all this dust settles.
