I have been here almost 13 years. I have seen nice perks disappear under APA, including:

• Jumpseater in the BOW (not sure how/if the new contract fixes that with taxi fuel)
• Jetway trip swap
• scheduling qualify esp. trip trading.
• lots of other little things

Is it an APA issue or more an AA pilot issue to re-invent what the other group had already brought to the table?

Where would we be now without UA and DL? I probably would be sitting airport reserve (CAW) which I am kinda doing anyway when I have a nice 3+ hour break in one of our hubs.

​​​​​​We seem to have a better reserve system than UA and DL (no limit how many times you get transitioned to SC?), not sure how miserable their trip trading is compared to ours. I am still waiting for Ed's solution to our TTS 2.0 cluster.

APA ran ads about our crappy schedules, but all of a sudden it wasn't a priority any more. TTS 2.0 has been forced upon us by ONE APA person. No committee or board had reviewed TTS 2.0 before it went live. Source: Ed Sicher.

Those are some of my personal points, would that get fixed under ALPA? Would we have the same people that screwed us under APA over at ALPA?
