Just a quick thank you from your frendly neighborhood CAL pilot. Very nice. You guys really showed what a pilot group with a backbone looks like. You didn't cave on SCOPE like those DAL wusses. They certainly have made life miserable for our negotiations. Thanks again to APA pilots holding strong!!

Thanks guys! It was a 6 year duration for the TA. The way AA negotiates, it'd been a 10 year contract.
Our contract was amenable May 2008. AA opened early on us in Sept 2006. We had been negotiating since 2006!
Many of us would have retired under this concessionary TA in the next 10 years.
AA73, Eaglefly and myself and others here, were outspoken NO voters.
To have voted in this concessionary contract would have been bad for EVERYONE!

Yep, we've been living with our UAL BK contract for 9 years+. It's great to see a pilot group with some self-respect and the balls to say hell no to the BS that AMR was trying to sell you.

Now what? Judge rejects the contract. AA imposes the original term sheet, without the pay, scope, and BK claim improvements from the TA. Beyond that is anybody's guess. I really doubt AA will come back to the table.
Not saying this was the wrong vote ... if I were an AA-er, not sure how I would have voted. However, this is definitely the path with more questions than answers ...

Do you fly for AA? Did you read the LBFO? Do you have a United States passport? Get out of my country if you cannot fight a battle!
We read it, we understand choosing our battles carefully. We voted NO for us, and for the profession.
People like you make me sick. We the pilots of AA took a 23.5% pay cut and lost lots of work rules and benefits to keep AA out of BK then. Turns out it was BS.
AA has $6.5 B this was a BK out of convienience to gut the employee union contracts.
