"American Airlines is defending a plan to pay its departing chief executive a severance payout of nearly $20 million after the airline completes a merger with US Airways.

In a statement, American Airlines spokesman Mike Trevino said the payout is among "arrangements designed to motivate a strong management team..."

IOW, Horton is being rewarded for his horrendous performance. Gotta love the "good ole boys" club. What a joke.

 

I don't think they liked my recommendation of Deferred On-Time Passenger Arrival Recovery Procedure.

If they are serious about improving quick turns perhaps they can give stand-down orders to the Aircraft Cleaners Brigade.

 

Why make any statement at all? Just take the money and shove it in your pockets. The AAmerican WAAy!!!!

 

Who/What constitutes the Broken promise generation and is that a mainstream view?

They didn't want to make the statement, but someone on the AA Bankruptcy Creditor's Committee is trying to deny poor Horton his $20Million.

That's why AA is now trying to justify it. (from the article)

"After the merger is completed, Horton will be replaced by US Airways Chief Executive Doug Parker and will take the post of board chairman for the new airline.

But the trustee overseeing the bankruptcy objected to the payout, saying that bankruptcy code requires the airline to first explain why it is making sweeping changes to its payment policies."

 

I've heard DAL-s union officials say exactly what you said below:

You and the other DALPA apologists use this line of thinking constantly as a weapon to beat back any attempts at getting more than COLA increases. And you do this in spite of the fact that "me too" is a verbal myth that is contained nowhere in writing that I've ever seen.

The question everyone should ask themselves is...why do you and our union do this?

That's not what I said -

I'm talking about pay with the door being closed vs beacon vs GPS out or whatever. You were saying "If we get door pay I can assure you the flight attendants will get the same." We do different jobs and just because WE might want to get paid when the door closes doesn't mean they need to be.

 

I don't work for ALPA in any capacity. The only ALPA work I have done in my entire career was strike coordinator for the area where I live back in 01. I am way to lazy and could not afford to take the cut in pay they do to consider ALPA work. I am just thankful some are willing to make the sacrifice for me. Also my posts did not convey what you say. My posts only convey how I view management when they look at cost items we might want. I have no doubt management has to consider all the effects of every item. If they don't they are very bad at the job they do. I don't speak for ALPA in any way and have never had a single communication from ALPA asking me to post anything on any forum.
Again I ask you to produce any statement from the union.
My bet is also still good on flight pay loss if you want to put some money on your facts!

 

Carl, Within minutes of signing the last contract the company announced that the July raise was being increased to match the pilot raise. They also announced a unexpected raise on 1 Jan tied into reducing the profit sharing for all employees. Within a week of the contract being signed they announced increased vacation and training pay, increased per diem among other items for the FA's.
In the past many items have been given to others once we got them. When we finally got the jumpseat the flight attendants were given the jumpseat days later. When we won a grievance on pass charges and the company had to refund large amounts to many pilots they gave the same refund to all employees. I could go on and on. Every contract that I have been involved with at Delta as a pilot carried down in some form or another to non pilots. If you believe otherwise then you don't know the history of the airline.
