They did pretty good considering it was supposed to just be a bridge until the JetBlue JCBA. Why don't you ask Spirit pilots how well ALPA did when they negotiated their industry leading QOL contract a few years ago?

Yeah, I built up hundreds of hours of sick time on the narrow body, because I was only flying 12-13 days a month and the trips were good. The new guys now will never see that, because they’re flying garbage trips, 16 days a month, and getting pounded into the ground. Very few of them I talk to have any sick time, it’s impossible to accumulate it.

oh, it most certainly was provoked. By APA's pathetic display of unionism and discombobulated lack of leadership. ****ing freeloaders.

P.S. And if you don’t believe me, go look at the United forum from back in April and May.

You do realize UALPA only started making serious progress with United management after the AA AIP, right? But your revisionist history of what happened literally a month ago sounds better

These threads are getting absurd.

I don’t care about their TUMI TA if that’s what you’re talking about.

Back in the 1981/1982ish time frame, just before Braniff went under… AA management desperately needed more lift at DFW over the Christmas holidays. Behind the union’s back, they negotiated a quick deal with Braniff to carry AA passengers on AA routes using the AA code. The morning it was scheduled to start, a bunch of AA Captains maneuvered their aircraft after pushback to park and block every Braniff pushback at DFW. They shut em down that morning. The deal was called off immediately afterwards. Obviously I wasn’t around back then but from what I’ve been told, it was a coordinated secret grass roots effort at the membership level that enabled that to happen.

no one in the industry is interested in your candy-ass excuses. But hey, as long as you can convince yourself.

Did we match though? Isom has claimed the new new AA AIP is worth 9 billion. The UAL AIP is 10+ billion.
