ALPA ain't that much better. The bigger it gets, the more bloated it becomes.

Belly up to the bar everybody, you're paying for it.

But did you get a pay rate that would hit the snap up clauses for UA and DAL?

Has gotten harder with the new system for sure. Still possible but often requires a multi trade process.

How’s FSB going? Fun times commuting in to base to sit at the airport for 4-5 hours eh?

I’m not AA, but had an AA capt non rev. He said the counter proposal thing (the one that adds like 13 extra bullet points that’s floating around) is dead now.

I guess Isom overstepped and got his hand smacked. So it’s back to the table.

true?

I know you don’t care for DALPA and you certainly have your reasons. And I don’t think ALPA is some magical savior for the AA pilot group. But the problems we have with ALPA at both Delta and United quite frankly pale in comparison to the absolute asshattery that occurs within APA. Change starts with the pilots overwhelmingly rejecting the clowns at APA and sending them packing in the clown car they showed up in.

Look at United… They’re a prime example of a labor organization in upheaval when their former Chairman Insler was ousted and they started cleaning house. And despite the chaos over there they STILL managed to blow the doors off with an awesome contract. How can anyone at AA look within your own labor organization and see anything redeeming? Kick APA to the curb and start the process of becoming industry-leading again.

Instead, as a group, you're just an anchor weighing the rest of us down. you've had what, 2-3 bites of the apple to RAISE the bar, and failed every time. I'd be ashamed to ask for a jumpseat on DL or UAL.
lol you take yourself too serious.
