I say pull the trigger!! Get the SPC's up and running and convince management that if abrogation they seek, the NUCLEAR option they will get!! Its about time labor rattles managements cage. I hear China's hiring. Convince management that withdrawing YOUR services is in the works....:mad:

China is Hiring? How many fifty+year olds will get off? Maybe 100? I doubt in this economy that many will leave. Look at our employer and what pilots will put up with. RLA prevents a strike. I do want APA to hang tough. What is the economic reality? Those who don't need to work would have already left.

APA's willingness to bargain on that issue is why I don't think AMR will let the judge read his decision. A last minute better deal would not surprise me one bit.

To quote John MacKenroe..."You can't be serious."

I could walk away tomorrow and be OK. My wife is a professional and makes very good $$. But I'd rather stay, fight, and hopefully be rewarded with a career and a job worth pursuing.
