"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.

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).

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.

Best of luck to the AA folks!

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.

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.
