It's this kind of mindset that is ruining AA along with the old guard running APA. These clowns need to go.

And yes, WO bonuses were light-years ahead of bonuses from Skywest, Republic, or Mesa for years, not just recently. Now you guys get paid triple a Republic pilot and guess what, STILL get 401K matching day one at AA. Care to explain that? Is that still a "perk"?
