This is my first Pilot vs Management.
GO APA!!!
A new kid on the block.............whattya gonna do ?
It's easy to slouch into the old "geezer" attack (common among the 500 hour kids who can barely handle a skyhawk) and I could retort about teaching you kids to do a night visual (which about half of you cannot do), but that serves no purpose but to agree to participate in a tanbark fight with a kid.
You think a lot of things that are mostly incorrect and worship what you WANT to happen as opposed to what past history, current economic conditions and leverage will produce.
I'd love for you to be right - that the APA will bring AMR to their knees. In fact, after they do that and the mechanics and even perhaps the flight attendants also then do the same (intoxicated by the pilots success, the companies weakness and smelling AMR blood in the water), that the APA will hold onto their gains and AMR will suddenly place the interests of employees above their own corporate capitalist needs.
But thats the "hash pipe" version of reality. I thought that at least 3 times over the last 20 years myself and NOT ONE of those ended up happening. In round 4 for me, mainline pilot odds (and leverage) are WORSE then the last 3 trips around the block.
Welcome to the party kid...............you're in for a painful and frustrating education.
