Are they going to have any jumpseats in the back like the Delta birds? I heard they were going back and forth on having one or none.

No extra FA jumpseats is what we were told to expect. Also, nowhere for crews to stow our bags (pilots and FAs) so they MAY have to be put in the cargo. ***? That's what the email said. These will be the cheeeeapest versions. NWA wasn't even this cheap. And they were the epitome of cheap.

Funny, we got a different story.
We were told that there wouldn't be crew bag storage because AA wants to stow their emergency equipment there. So bags would be stored throughout the cabin in overhead bins.
Also, all birds will have printers and possibly 2 extra FA jumpseats on the aa birds.

Alaska is correct. It directly addresses both things he said.

Not true about being able to spread out bags throughout the cabin unless the Director of Ops is not getting the correct info from AA. Also, he said in his last email that we will not be getting any with additional jumpseats in the back. He never mentioned printers so that's still up in the air as of now.
I'm just going off of the Compass Points email sent a couple of days ago and what MW said in his update section. I'm not making it up.
Where are you getting your info? Are you a flight attendant?

Absolutely not. I'm not an FO, and If this goes into effect, I will not let the FO carry everyones bags down the steps. Everyone will/need to be responsible for their own bags. Flight Attendants included. If that means we all go down to the ramp, so be it.

FO has enough work to do, in addition to keeping me out of trouble. He shouldn't be hauling bags.

Which is funny since they have tried to take away almost every print function we have.

yeah I agree. the only good thing is that dispatch can send our numbers to the printer, that is about it.

It's a shame how cheap they went on these planes. Going to be exciting stowing our bags in the cargo bin. Also going to be nice getting to show up to the airport earlier, just to make it to the remote terminal in LAX.

I'm going to see how long I can make it without flying any of these AA pairings. I'm guessing MSP based pilots won't have to though anyway. Too bad that previous poster's 'rumor' is not true. Wish this flying was never coming our way. Hopefully Envoy guys and gals can have a bone thrown their way soon.
