I have been watching this thread. To all others who might be playing fly on the wall let me point out that the current adminisration at APA will be rewarded by management for selling out the pilot group. I say again, to all the pilots reading this type of drivel, over the coming months you will be reading much on both C&R and in chat rooms all over the net about how screwed up the PDP is. Please remember that the pilots selling you out have a vested interest in seeing the deal go through. The current APA president was asked to sign a simple letter stating that he would not accept a management pilot position after the deal was done. He refused. What more do you lemmings need to hear? It appears that B757200ER is just one more beaten down pilot who will be hoping for favors or a cushy management pilot job in exchange for helping the crooks that are in office at the moment. Darrah is a perfect example, as the arbiter of the APA pilots previous contract and current demise, he gets to go play in at the office doing "research" while the rest of us fly the line. Another example of this was that TWA guy "Bounds". He helped sell out his fellow TW pilots and was rewarded with the furloughs being stopped just below his sen number. Until they got what they wanted out of him and he was dropped into FUR status like a John loses a jimmy hat. HEY BOUNDS! How's that eagle job treating you? You got the Flowbacks organized yet? The list of pilots that have helped sell out the AA guys grows with each passing contract. What's really sad is that the majority of AA skirt wearers never learn. Of course it's not really their fault. It all goes back to a meeting with Crandall and Judy back in the day. Legend has it that Bob paid a bunch of shrinks big bucks to come up with a way to screen pilots using the test we all took at the interview. Using this test as a filter they were able to hire only the most compliant and directable pilots. Unless you were smart enough to game the test. So essentially what we have today is a union and an airline run by order taking B scale losers that couldn't get a job at any of the REAL airlines back then, like Pan Am or TWA.

AA pilots, you gave up almost a BILLION dollars. What did you get? More RJs. You foolishly enabled, like an alcoholics wife, the current management to stay in place. AA Flight Attendants, Gate Agents, and Mechanics work under industry leading contracts. While your union is about to come to you for more givebacks. They'll say no more displacements and no more furloughs but like you've heard before, things will change. Management will continue to come to the pilots for money or more productivity until you say enough. Let them get it somewhere else this time. Force them to spin off Eagle. If they won't do that then fix the Eagle cost sharing issue. AMR is hiding how much of a REAL drain Eagle is on the AA system, they do this because it behooves them to make it seem like AA is in worse shape than it is. Eagle is draining AA's bottom line day by day. AA pilots, stop the enabling now!
