And until YX can isolate their bases to where only bases X-Y-Z fly for AA, there should not be any change. Do you want flow next? It's not my problem if it costs YX more money or interrupts their business model. You’re a FFDC, build it into your next CPA with AA. Your company signed and agreement and now you're trying to whine yourselves into a better one.
Actions have consequences.
So I am a former regional guy at AA, and I tend to give the regional carriers a big backing when it comes to a lot of stuff, but in this case YX is being a little ridiculous. If YX flew exclusively for AA then yeah no problem, but they are literally out there flying under contract for our direct competition. Now I get it, that has nothing to do with YX pilots, but I fly for AA and you don't see me asking for enhanced travel benefits on Delta flights, or even better example, JB and Alaska. I was at 9E back in the day and we had NWA flying and Delta flying(pre-merger). Our ATL based pilots(delta flying) received benefits on Delta while all the other 9E pilots did not, it was like that back then and I had no problem with it...
