When he asked him why he was going to CLT, the guy’s response was, “Well, I can’t tell you much but it’s to talk to AMR about exchanging OUR Airbuses for their 737s”.

This was about a year ago so maybe there has been something in the works for a while. Time will tell....

Any new rumors floating around?? I’ve heard from multiple pilots that Southwest has been looking into Alaska... And supposedly American is looking at the Virgin busses. Just seems like an interesting time right now. Especially with the hault on Airbus classes in March?

Suppose the American thing is true and they buy the existing owned airbuses and assume lessee responsibilities for the leased airbii, do the pilots go with them or are we chained to the sinking ss alaska? Has anything like that occurred ever?

Some airlines have it in their PWA but I don't know if the Alaska one does.

Hey Whackjob -

You won't do it but how about you post your W2 pre acquisition and one post purchase. Put your money where your mouth is. Mr. "downgraded thanks to Gary."

I've actually flown with many level headed AT guys who acknowledge how much better off they are.

I like the challenge--if it's not accepted, the truth will be obvious.

First of all, I could care less if you believe that I took a 20-25% pay cut through the forced downgrade or not. If you don’t believe that then you’re just arrogant and ill informed.
