AA is… Increasing its regional partners, bringing back 50 seat outdated CRJ200s that passengers loathe, and announcing to its pilots that it will be reevaluating its widebody international footprint.
Essentially doubling down on everything that YOU as an APA pilot should be worried about insourcing your own flying for. Doubling down on everything that you as an APA pilot should be interested in increasing the size of your labor union and gaining leverage for.
Your union leadership is a reflection of your pilot group. I honestly hope you don’t become ALPA. You’re a toxic pilot group with a toxic labor organization to represent you. Go on doing you and getting the same results. Contract after contract.
Oh really? You’re somehow implying that Delta and United would be open to merging their regional feed into their own list (if they were wholly owned)? Unless it were a pure staple job, then I can guarantee you that they would absolute NOT agree to even entertain that idea.
This idea that somehow AA has pilots who as human beings are somehow DIFFERENT than the pilots at UA and DL is laughable and ridiculous.
Should we probably merge their operation into our own? Yes. Absolutely.
Anything beyond a pure staple and fences is a non starter, as it would be at UA and DL. To think otherwise is pure fantasy.
So with that said, how is our group more “toxic” than either of those two?
