And that means AA jets don't move.

Judge: AA can reject pilots union contract - Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com

A bankruptcy judge in New York has ruled that American Airlines can throw out its contract with its pilots union – Allied Pilots Association.

A key part of the bankruptcy proceedings, the ruling clears the way for the Fort Worth, Texas-based airline to dramatically cut costs and quicken its emergence from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

The airline has successfully renegotiated contracts with all its other labor unions.

Meanwhile, American and US Airways are one step closer to a potential merger.

If AMR abrogates APA's contract, can AA pilots legally withhold services?

No, but I personally would not be surprised to see 3000 pilots in 30 days go out on depression/sleep apnea/FMLA/ETC.

I want to be very very very clear I am not at all saying to do that, or saying that is right, I am just saying what in my mind I think is going to result from this, and another 3000 on property to fly 100% by the FARs and not do one single favor to the company. I guess AA is about to have the safest airplanes in the skys. AGAIN I am just saying what I think is going to happen and not at all saying to do any of these things or say I support anyone acting this way. We should all act as professionals.

Why can't these guys do the right thing and ask another airline how they make money flying the same airplanes to the same airports in the same sky with same pilots all WITHOUT neglecting the agreement they have with their hard working employees?

Why is it that at this day in aviation people still think that by throwing out a contract and emerging from bankruptcy the company will actually be viable in the future? There is a problem and it's not the hard working employees. Don't let them take advantage of you.

Fail........

When was the last time they were going uphill? The line is crossed. It's actually erased.

What ever job action that is taken will only weaken ToHo's leadership. That will strengthen the cause of Doug Parker. I think APA did the right thing by not signing a POS contract. Concessionary contracts are like a drug to management, they never want to give them up.

The conquerors of the skies.(conquistadors del cielo). Parker and TOHO have it all figured out. Their God's in their own minds. Must be all the alcohol. Raping and pillaging the village will onl take you so far.
