Yes, but even if you disagree, what’s your point?

My biased opinion is that the current system good. When I was on probation and commuting, it would have been 100X more stressful not knowing if I would be bumped at the last minute and get a commuter miss. If you are senior and still commuting, it's by choice, (vs temporary situation until you can hold a different base), you probably aren't worried about a commuter miss, and the cost of a revenue ticket or hotel is less significant to you. Also, I think the FAs and gate agents would be the real winners if we switched over to a seniority system, unless we negotiated a carve out but then we would end up with shoe polish on our seatbelts and curly hair in our coffee.

Despite some of the bizarre complaints in this thread, I think there are very few people at AA who have any interest in changing our current system. I really don’t see that being a threat.

Slight change of topic since this thread was pointless complaining about a non-broken system.

AA bought 9.7 mil shares of Republic, that's 20.8% of the company. Three wholly own airlines apparently wasn't enough.

They are just buying up a position so current share holders UAL and DAL can’t screw with the regional feed.
