A more commonsense position than the one most junior AA pilots are dreaming about. They are confusing the fear managers have of bankruptcy with a belief that they will never go to bankruptcy. Every major airline has made a trip to bankruptcy court. AA isn't any more special than they were.
They'll play RLA chicken, but it is foolish to think they'll always chicken out at the last minute. Pilots within 10 to 15 years of retirement aren't be so eager to gamble with their careers like a fortysomething MD82 first officer.
