Increasing jobs at AA is objectively good for us. I really don't see how it's even a debate to be honest. Would you rather be 8,000 out of 15,000 or 8,000 out of 20,000? That's more seniority, better schedule flexibility and more of a buffer between you and the furlough line.

APA's position is valid but self serving. More members means more dues. I don't necessarily like it but it does mean we get better representation and it also doesn't mean we have to disagree with them just because their motivations are different. It doesn't change the fact that more pilots at American is better for current AA pilots.
