I’m confused.. whose airbuses?
Flew with a guy here at SWA about a year ago that was pretty well connected down in Dallas with the execs. He claimed to have been operating a flight into CLT and as the pax were deplaning, he noticed one of his exec friends. 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....

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.

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?

That said, it doesn't always happen. Some airlines have it in their PWA but I don't know if the Alaska one does. I'd expect that to be a lower priority than scope would have been and I understand there's not a whisper of scope in there.

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.

Sure. The “truth” is obvious. It’s obvious that you’re too arrogant to accept the fact that someone could have taken a pay cut due to a downgrade. There’s the “truth” for you....

Sure, I’ll get right on posting personal information on the internet. Are you high?
