In light of how they have treated your pilot group over the years, I am surprised that you choose to believe them yourself.
Feel free to continue your personal attack as opposed to debating the issue.
AMR needs larger regional aircraft (at least ones that don't lose money). They spent MILLIONS of dollars in legal fees on this issue. That wasn't just to hoodwink a bunch of pilots for dubious value or subterfuge.
At this point it matters not what they have or have not done or what really exists or existed. They can get those planes if they want or need them, but prefer a bigger fish on their profit plate. For now, the best hand is to hold and watch the table for a year.
AMR isn't dumb and that is EXACTLY what they're doing. IT's as simple as that and dragging past arbitration history into this to complicate the simple is again pointless.
That the ONLY issue and debating irrelevant material is pointless.
