"Negotiating" is a loose term. They could agree to sit in a room staring at the APA and playing with their smart phones and technically be negotiating.

APA CA Bates just resigned. And the fun begins.

Good for you AA pilots. You should be proud.

Cactusone, take your worn out crap to a new thread. You, the west, would be the last pilot group to take a stand.

I agree, don't we have enough threads of West guys calling East guys names? Besides, of all the names you can call US Airways pilots, I don't think "Limp-D*****", would be a good choice. There's plenty of erections to go around if you mention 'DOH' in PHL (or Nicolau in PHX).

Bravo!, from a hopeful prospective AA pilot.

They certainly have made life miserable for our negotiations. Thanks again to APA pilots holding strong!!

Yes, coming from CO, the perennial bottom feeder of major airline contracts, I can see how our pay rates being almost 50% higher than yours made your negotiations miserable. :rolleyes:

Best of luck to the AA folks!

Well done my AA brothers! Fight the good fight! I hope we at Unical can vote the same way soon.

Thank you AA "no" voters.
There is no reason your contract should be any less than DAL or UAL.

To be honest they don't have the same synergies or economies of scale as their larger counterparts. DAL and UAL will always have about a 10% boost on American. APA can demand more (and rightly should) but it won't come easy.

I know pilots will hate me for saying this, but it's the truth. If American pilots demand the same pay as DAL/UAL, it puts AMR at a disadvantage.

Ahh yes, your 83' hires are the epitome of the "anti-wuss"....... :rolleyes:

Holy crap.

What is the general reaction from the pilot group? It seemed like he did a lot of good and made progress with AA. This is a crucial time and electing a new leader is the last thing to be focusing on.
