Apparently the APFA (flight attendants) spent Thursday and Friday in mediated talks and they ended yesterday without an agreement. APA to begin Monday, but I'm not optimistic.

Yep, here is the article:

American Air, Flight Attendants Fail to Reach Contract Agreement - Bloomberg

I doubt there will be an APA agreement either. Horton can't make any offers close to what Parker has promised.

Horton can't make any commitments being in BK court and a promise from Parker is nothing.

Agreed, but APA is more eager to risk their future on Parker's promises as opposed to Horton's reality. I cant blame them, since they have a duty of fair representation to their members. It wouldnt be prudent to turn away someone offering DAL+ contracts when Horton is trying to gut them.

For the record I dont see how Parker can financially support the promises he makes, but that's not for me to worry about.

Yea, APA needs to vet Parker and his bag of proposed tricks. Parker is a bottom feeder and runs a very troubled company. You know the stock ticker is LCC, low cost carrier! Thats a fact.

I guess if you're at USAirways you can borrow some of the lapel pins that circulated at AA right after they bought us.

I WAS HIRED, not ACQUIRED.

Charming.

Are you continually making things up?

There have never been lapel pins Hired not Aquired.

Of the 2,400 TWA pilots 900-1,000 kept their captain seats until they retired or are still in them.

More than 835 TWA CA's went senior to me, and stayed Captain until they retired or are still in their Captain seats.

You continually harp about 1 guy called TWA pilots Kmart pilots once. Yes, it was an insult and he was an idiot.

You're not even flying for AA, you were offered recall. Look if you're not working here, then shut your pie hole.
