It isn't just the subjectivity of the phrase that is the problem, it is management's bad faith interpretation. We metered while zero time lines were in our bid packet and reserves weren't flying. RW said in public that we will always meter. How could he know that we would always have operational difficulty? He couldn't. But he knows that management will always interpret whatever realities occur as such. That is not the same as subjectivity. That is a dishonest practice, cut and dry.

Can AA meter all three WO to zero and hire like other airline do?

Many have had SMP for years and havn't left. Even military guys with Tricare have stayed past 62.

Amongst A scalers it was more like 60% left around 60 and 40% stayed to 65. Avg retirement age was 62. Now it's 64. Ninety percent stay to 65, 10% leave around 60.

When I flew with him last he was up to a second Gulfstream.

Nice guy too, he didn’t need to fabricate his life.

Dont forget the Ruth Chris Steakhouse he owns of the penthouse in the Aria. Last trip I had played a game that every time he set his hooks to talk the BS, I changed discussion and wouldn’t let him spout his stuff. Over 4 days, I never let him get one of his lies outof his mouth. Amused me to no end and I’m sure frustrated him. I even watched him build the pics on photoshop while we flew.

That guy is completely delusional

Where's Richie Rich based?

Any paperclips used on the Bus for holding stuff like the ATIS/WX or Load Closeout?

No they can’t. At least for PSA they can hold till December but all Flow pilots must go before December 31st if hiring was done at AA.
