JayDee,
The pay protection was only approved last night at 5pm.
There might have been a blurb on Jetnet from some managment person about the pilots might be pay protected. That was some kind of damage control. No where was it written or alluded to. No HI6 messages for the flt crews. None.
You caught my rage because you commented on something that is a very sore topic.
I do apologise for the mean things I said to you about "Shut up"

As far as pay protection there are now already examples of pilots that do not qualify for pay protection for this event.

Imagine losing pay this month from 75 hours to 64 hours.
Right now and for the last two years AA management has been telling all the newspapers that AA pilots are the highest paid in the industry. Telling us we and all media that the pilots need to be more productive.
Perhaps some employees and others feel that we are overpaid living in gated communities throwing lavish cocktail parties and lighting cigars with 20's.
In 2003 I sold my house when the pay cuts (23%+) some took more. Many were furloughed. We still have 1,900+ on furlough. And then you came on here and announced all pilots are pay protected.

If you have a question about pilot pay, by all means post. If you have a comment about pilot pay, this is a free country by all means post.
But don't come on and tell the internet that the AA pilots are pay protected
when I recieved no messages about anything to do with pay.
If AA pilots had some sort of pay protection like the other major airlines i'd be more Zenlike. Imagine month after month not knowing if your paycheck will be missing 15% of your take home pay.

FF,

Referencing the "cancellation" side letter for lack of a better term, did the company ask for any scope relief to use outside lift to move the masses ?

The union didn't report to us if or not the Company asked. Nor has the company reported. So I don't know.
I didn't look to see if they were subbing Boeings, for me on Sabre it'd be hard to tell. I havn't used RES for umpteen years at least. I only go to DECS.

Scary times. I had four friends at ATA.

oh and FliFast when you get back remember I got your dinner, drinks and i'll light your cigar with a 20. lol
