Once you get sick (and you will), take the two weeks paid leave and play Xbox. Maybe by the end of the two weeks enough damage will have been done that we get some action.
I can't believe Envoy's response here is "go to work until you get sick, peasants".

I hope AA doesn’t get a bailout. The vast majority of their free cash flow (billions) went to stock buy backs. The company needs to go into BK, the BOD fired, and bring in new leadership.
Also, if any of you think we’re going to come out of this unscathed, you better adjust your thinking and expectation management. Prepare for pay cuts, the ‘f’ word, displacements/downgrades, etc.
United just announced they’re cutting 60% capacity. Delta is down 40% and reevaluating demand daily. American is still assessing damage and the axe is about to drop.

I used to believe in the union, but not anymore as I have seen time and time again they have no teeth or lack the will to use them. Unfortunate really. Also, before anyone jumps down my throat, I understand the RLA, I have volunterreed and I can understand the fear of repercussion, but its because of these that I accept our money given is just to feed the mainline unions legal efforts.
The other crappy thing is that while we are an AA wholly owned, we are a separate union so they have zero incentive to take care of us from above.
