Dupe........

Thank god I'm on the Airbus.

You'll get no argument from a lot of AA guys on plenty of stuff. You guys want to do PA's, have at them. :D

More than a few of us are hoping your influence will have a positive influence on our groups DFW Flight cubicle dwellers including giving a few of them a Bidsheet since they haven't seen one in 20 years.

If had had to guess I'd bet there is so much work and more important merging issues involved that it would be too tough to change everything at once, including some people in certain positions.

From what I've heard I believe we might forget about silly dinosaur cockpit call outs and worry about getting your layover hotels as the standard vs the AA side.

I'm making all the PA's, trying to do it the way we're taught.

Looks like I started some thread creep with my thump on the nose to frisco. Sorry about that. I think I'll start a new thread called "Why do we do this?" Sometimes things seem odd until you are shown the logic of it.

It's seems that AA suffers from not invented here syndrome. Like a lot of companies. I get the adopt and go for big things, I've been through two disastrous res system migrations, but for everyday procedures I think we should look for the best. Most things fall under "many ways to skin a cat", but some just seem odd. Like using 10,000' AFL instead of MSL. That will be my first under the new thread.:rolleyes:

That would be a VERY legit concern!

Yeh, but the F/O gets to hang the AA flag out the window. (It's a way back thing)

Now that would be a change I could get behind. Or naming the airplanes again. I want to fly Flagship LA(lower Alabama or lovely Asheville).

Has anybody run into problems yet?

I cannot check my wife in for an international trip. TravelUS says that I have to check-in at the airport. ***?

The other weird issue is the time of the check in. If you plan to fly from A to B to C (C being a European destination), it seems the TravelUS will not let you check in until the European flight departure.

Have they hired Obamacare programmers? Or do I *really* need a break?

can delete...

At United, retirees used to go AHEAD of active employees. You give 25+ years to the company, you get something in return. It wasn't until after the CAL merger that this went away. As someone who is currently an active employee but planned on doing lots of travel during retirement, this was a major setback.

Rather than retiring early like I planned (I was thinking 57), I will probably stay on until age 65 and just work my schedule so I can do lots of traveling at the top of the seniority list.

I plan on just buying tickets rather than deal with the inconvenience and unknown involved with non rev travel. It's the right thing to do during retirement.

Can you tell from the standby list in NRTP if any of the employees listed are FDJ authorized or can only the gate agents see this information?

If you go to the Priority List on the NRTP, the eligible jumpseaters for AA should have FDJ AA next to them. The US folks don't have that yet.
