Its a smart move. AA is struggling and probably will have more problems. This is a chance to snag slots we otherwise could never get (he said we cant win that bidding war) and increase our flying and dig out of this hole. Take flip side of this is dumping the 190’s early, shrinking our company and furloughing a **** load of us. I’m not thrilled with the language, but try to look at this from this perspective - the company is against the wall. It has a shot of getting out of this in a way that could make us stronger. Or we can say the hell with it and shoot the golden goose.
We are not going to shoot the golden goose.... this is plain and simple...If they want it bad enough they will come right back to us with a better deal....
What do you think is going to happen? We vote this down and Robin and crew just throw their hands up in the air and say "well, we tried.. let's closed the doors and shut'er down""
Did you think they would say today that "if the pilots vote this one down we will sweeten the deal for them??"
really??? you guys have got to be smarter than that!!!
