Jiffy,

Explain to us why a bill that protects years of service stinks. Why a bill that encourages parity stinks. Arguably, in any merger there will be winners and losers. This legislation, helps to level the losses sustained by both sides. And guess what, the merger between the APA and the TWA pilots group and the TWA Flt Attds. was the reason for the bill.

I presume it stinks because you are an American Airlines pilot ???

Thanks,

FF

ps. Just remember, after the mergers American may not be the big fish in the sea and may be a target for merger down the road.
