Can't be, wouldn't they send some captured infidel in there to pull the rods out by hand?

 

Who is the guy on Moak's left?
Is that a Purple Heart? Can't quite tell on my little screen.

 

Of my two earlier posts, the Moak/Anderson got most of the attention. I'm curious how the AA pilot negotiations will work. It sounds like they can improve on what they already have? Anyone understand the new negotiations?

Re-posted here for reference:

Sky Talk: Pilots to begin contract negotiations with American in July

"Given American Airlines' competitive position, it is our firm view that meaningful improvements to our current collective bargaining agreement — an agreement reached under duress during Chapter 11 bankruptcy — must be on the negotiating table," the union said in its message to members. "We look forward to a healthy bargaining dialogue with the new management team that reflects the dramatically improved state of American Airlines and the industry itself."

Although the APA negotiated a new contract with American while it was in bankruptcy, the pilots need to negotiate a new joint contract that will cover both the American and former US Airways pilots.

 

All I can say is............................I'm not holding my breath.

Their past track record in pre-merger/bankruptcy negotiations does not lead one to have a lot of confidence that they will negotiate a new contract before we do. I sure hope they do.

It would be a huge help if the produce something industry leading.

 

Sharia law compliant agreement? Isn't Isis demanding Sharia law?


Hopefully for the rest of us the tail falls off before it reaches it's target.

 

For anyone that knew Tom Perillo, Former MSP Chief pilot, He passed away yesterday from ALS. he was 59.

Rockford Walk: Captain Tom Perillo - Walk to Defeat ALS®

Trainer - Tom Perillo

 

And to quote Denny Crane:

 

That's awful. I have known a few people who have died from ALS. Horrific desease. May he rest in piece.

 

You guys are wrong they are an independent union, in fact they are two independent unions, they will not be shackled down by ALPA. With all their leverage points they will simply walk into Parker's office and tell him they want DALs 2004 rates adjusted for inflation. He will of course agree immediately and the contract will be signed.

Honestly I hope they crush our rates and we have someone's rates to look up to for c2015.
