APA's contract proposal asks for LOS (Length of service credit) for ALL furloughees.

Many American Airlines pilots don't even know they acquired and pummeled TWA and it's pilots.

Anyone that was a CA at TWA (with the exception of 717 pilots) is/will/has/has been/still is/can/can be/reserve the right to be a CA at American.

There are currently over 300 Ex TWA CA's that have been in the left seat the whole time. Supp CC protects all CA's and reinstatement rights.

There are many native AA furloughees.

There is some truth that some AA pilots don't pay attention to anything that does not affect themselves.
TWA had 2,400 pilots. AA had over 8,500 pilots. The ratio alone naturally suggests that there would be more pilots that just don't care.

For me, a furloughed pilot is an AA pilot. I care. I will vote accordingly.

Happy holidays to all.
