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.
So in otherwords the same fearmongering that has preceded any scope giveaway.
Obviously the Company wants and needs this. We NO voters would be happy to accommodate them just on better terms.
Let’s START with a pay bump NOW, furlough protection for the next 2 yrs and tighten up the language... the deal is already inked and went through DOT/ DOJ review, by oversight or negligence Mgt have handed our NC quite a bit of leverage which they squandered apparently, with a No vote the membership has placed the leverage back in the hands of the NC with a mandate from us of what is required to get the deal done.
