Nobody wants to merge and add any more weight to the sinking ship. AA is well past the titanic clipping the iceberg.

The rub is that quite a few other airlines are tied to AA if BK is declared. It will be a bath for many.

Never once said better. Better situation? Yes. Don't take it so personally.

Thats how Envoy used to do a daily ORD-LGA. NYC is a pilot domicile and a "focus city" but not a hub for scope purposes.
Hub was the wrong word, but my point still stands.

Didn’t learn anything from your little time out, who could have seen that coming

No one should WANT it.

That said, there are lots of things I don’t want, and can make the case are objectively worse/bad, that still occur.

AA, UA, and DL pilot groups all benefited from bankruptcies of airlines past. In many cases these pilot groups made decisions that benefited themselves at mammoth cost to other pilots. Thaw idea that now, somehow, that these precedents need to be rewound is laudable but not really compelling.

Just rest easy knowing that here at American Airlines, we believe in equality. The pilots of other airlines, as well as the junior in our own ranks, will be eaten in order to sustain the prosperity of the all-important widebody captain.

Give it a rest man. I'll never be a widebody captain, but I'm also not going to just simply label the widebody captains with the widest of wide brushstrokes of overgeneralization. Every demographic within our seniority list has their fair share of a$$h0les, to include the most junior FO's within our ranks.

Maybe try to be all-inclusive of the entire list top to bottom instead of being just like what you bemoan so much about our widebody captains.

I didn't say anything about widebody captains though. I did however talk about the actions and mindset of APA and how everything they do is to protect the most senior on the AA list.
