AAG 2nd Quarter Financial Results
From Dougie: "Today we announced second quarter 2014 financial results of $1.5 billion in net profits (excluding special charges). This is the best financial performance for any quarter in the long and proud history of American Airlines. These record results are due to the great work of our 100,000 team members who blah, blah, blah,...."
************************************************** ****
Any wonder why AAG didn't want to put a new (concessionary) offer in front of the envoy pilot group in July/August?
Barring a severe economic downturn, it's going to continue to be hard for AAG to extract concessions from envoy, going forward. That's a good problem to have,.....for BOTH sides.

At our current rate of upgrades PBS will likely cost FOs close to a year delay in upgrade.
PBS means less captains.
Last I checked we are waging a war of attrition with the company.
Lower staffing requirements negate our strategy, I don't know why anyone is even considering voting this in.
Line bidding is also not just more pilots required, the more upgrades result in more pilots acquiring TPIC, and even more actually leaving for other majors.
Also if they try to take another 5% from us in retaliation that will further exasperate their difficulties attracting new hires. So the effect of keeping what we have is exponentially better, when looked at from a perspective of putting pressure on the company, exerting leverage, and guys actually getting out of here for greener pastures.

My info was dispelled by cujo aka R.I himself, who has proven to be nothing but honest.
My conclusion was based on my info and my source. I wasn't given a name, just came to my conclusion based on what i had, and thought that i was 99% correct. I do know he (mason32) isn't management. He is involved in a union position.
