We AA pilots are plenty embarrassed and upset about the situation, unfortunately our management will not cooperate with what the rest of the industry is doing. If it was up to me, every airline would be unlimited. Now that we are in Section 6, I wouldn't be surprised if the company exchanges unlimited jumpseats for some kind of major concession...
In the meantime, I'll keep bringing this up to our union j/s chairman's attention.
Truly sorry about the situation.
