I'll put the past behind me and try to make AA the best airline in the world. You?
I will never forget what you scumbags have done, I'll proudly wear my cactus pin while working to make things better for the pilot group, you east guys can go jump off a bridge.
The merger seems to be in the can and we've made our case in court.
Good riddance to USAPA
. Let's move FORWARD, what do you say?
Amen.

Oh, one more thing...and I am not trying to stir the pot or play peacemaker because I have not walked in your or anyone else's shoes in this process. The "pilot group" here at AA is not now or has ever been homogenious on any topic, contract or otherwise. IMO, representation has been fragmented since day one (post deregulation). So you can proudly do or wear whatever you want to set you apart, and you'll see many doing the same on the line, stickers, pins, no hats, etc. etc. all for different causes. The venting that goes on under our union web site is relentless...folks that have been wronged or think they have been wronged never ends. For the better or worse, we are probably the most american of US carriers because we can't agree on much. And the bigger we get, and we've been the biggest before, the more chaotic things become. I don't think adding 2 or 3 thousand new voices to the mix will change that, we've already got ten thousand plus opinions on how things should be. Frankly, the best I can humbly recommend is do your job well and then go home. Aggravation with even the most well intentioned grudge contradicts that. Your choice of course, but when the fences come down, you won't know east from west, native from non. One big disfuntional family and never a dull moment.

Believe me, no one that has been around expects this to be a panacea. What we have here is an opportunity to take the career back to what it use to be and with it a chance at a more stable and lucrative career, that's it. *****ing and moaning have always been part of the profession, heck look at Dal with the Dpa movement, some things will never change. Now the east/west battle is unprecedented in this industry, nothing short of scabing can compare to what they have done. Stealing the wests representation and attempting to impose a seniority lis after the fact while holding a contract hostage. If you are AA just ask your reps what it has been like to deal with them in the mou/pbs discussions so far. Oh and I guarantee you haven't seen anything yet from these clowns, heck they just sued to overturn yet another binding arbitration they lost right after spending $7 million trying to sue the pbgc for a pension termination they themselves caused, crazy.

An apt statement, since I fear you won't be able to move on. You could've stopped with the quote above. Instead, congrats on polluting a nice, upbeat thread about news we've been looking forward to for a long time.

I can picture you in the cockpit ten years from now, still causing the other pilots' eyes to roll back in their heads as you recount your tale of woe. Violin background music blaring from your cell phone as you go though your soliloquy.

No, you weren't the first to bring up USAPA on this thread, but you made sure you were the most regressive and offensive.

Apologies to all for the distraction and sincerely - Congrats to ALL.

You are one warped dude. I'm all ears, how did we CAUSE our pension termination? Our MEC voted to terminate it because they were told we weren't coming out of Chp 11 with it(ever heard of a pension being frozen?), but CAUSE it to be terminated? You really should do some research. Of course you never had one, so what the big deal, right? It is all about you.

Please post more often. I don't really care what you say, just need the avatar to make frequent appearances.

Thanks.
