Wow, you can hammer on my previous comment, but I think you are merely proving my point. The "it's not that bad" and "other's have it worse" is exactly what I am talking about. Several of you have already given up on fighting for a good contract. No, the 16 year contract was a turd, and no matter how much you polish it, it is still a turd.

As for those who say "the flow through is working" you must be kidding! Let's see, a total of 35 pilots will (oh wait, let's make sure they actually go first), but yes, 35 TOTAL pilot flow thru to AA. If this were proposed again on a contract based on flow thru and I said only 35 will go, is that what will do it to make you vote for another 16 year deal? I'm sure the next 35 senior CA's would like that, but the 3,000 or so others may see that as something they will never benefit from! Wake up! You got 35 pilots to go to AA and hundreds of F/O's are working well past the pay rate cap of 8 years.

I am sure AMR loves the fact that a few of you AE guys are saying we have had a great deal. Especially with Spirit in a strike. They know the Eagle pilots will never strike because of no backbone! (even if it were allowed, which under the current 'great' contract, you can't strike)

I still say, SELL SELL SELL.
