I do not mean that we quickly negotiate something sub-par. I mean that we, like DAL, give management our major contractual gains and let them know that we want them with no concessions. If this takes 1.5 years (or more) to negotiate, fine. But we may never find a time like this again in which we have this leverage.
I’m all in on making AA a better place; not just for pilots, but all employees AND customers. I’m cautiously optimistic that we can achieve this.
Just stating the facts. There is no way in hell I will vote yes for anything less than Delta agreement. I am not alone. Therefore no contract until 2025.
I am currently chasing down my 13 hrs. Of Holiday pay that was not in any pay statement. That’s $4200 shorted prior to taxes. Another wonderful fact being employed by this formally good airline. Chasing down pay that should have been paid. The frustrations never end. We actually have a pilot that will audit your pay for you. Costs you $10 a month. Why can a pilot get it correct yet a huge corporation with endless accountants and programmers get it so wrong? Because we suck.
