APA puts off negotiating after threat by AA
 

"After discussing the ramifications of Ms. Lynn’s letter, the APA Board of Directors adjourned their meeting mid-day today. The prevailing sentiment of your APA leadership is that Ms. Lynn’s letter was nothing short of a “sucker punch” and will not enhance our ability to work with AMR management. The APA Board will reconvene on Tuesday, Oct. 2 at 1 p.m. to discuss next steps in our pursuit of a contract commensurate with your status as professional aviators for a major U.S. carrier.

Translation: "If this is how you approach negotiations, pound sand."

Stand strong Gentleman. IMSAFE

Well that alone is worth at least 2 departure time write-up's......:D

Or maybe pushback then write it up.....

I am at 'base x' in a forward deployed location. On Armed Forces Network radio today there was a news bit on how American's operations were being hampered by pilots writing up aircraft, being uncooperative, etc. I noted how *only* pilots were being blamed. Wow. All the way over here the Mgt propaganda machine is able to reach! :mad:

You just can't make this crap up.

Much respect to AA pilots!!!

By the way, where is that Tomahawk character these days?

Good one, that must be a USAirways pilot thanking AA for doing the job they did not have the collective guts to do.

Imagine if we could combine the US Airways F/A's with the American pilots.

Now that would be a strong union bloc.

Yet both have produced no results over almost the last 10 years.

Yet another Mgmt team trying to inject Fear into the work/negotiating place.........Hmmmm
