Default 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.

++++++++++++++

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!

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.
