As far as the ex TWA pilots response above, it is interesting how people only remember the good things about their previous employer. They remember none of the bad stuff.
7576, good post, and well-explained. But, as for your comment on ex-TWA'er above, none of us was actually at AA long enough to find out the 'good things', and most of us have been furloughed over 5 years now...with no recall in the future and no reason to go back.
