So... On every metric, AA increased. Maybe not "home run" numbers, but increased none the less.


DO NOT be snowed into thinking that a big concession will save AA. AMR has a REVENUE problem, not a cost problem. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but just thought I'd re-iterate.


I'm not sure where management's "end game" is with their seemingly unwillingness to negotiate, but to my untrained eye.......
