How is some (supposed) failure of APA leadership to jump enthusiastically at a WO merger the fault of “toxic” AA line pilots???
A - I don’t believe you.
B - There are only about 4000 LAA “toxic” pilots left at a 15,000 pilot airline.
things are changing here…
C - Why would AA need APA’s blessing to do it??
AAG is already the largest in house work force in the industry. It makes zero sense to merge the WO’s into mainline. The ramifications go beyond just pilots. Every other work group is unionized and has their own scope rules and higher expense contracts.
