No rumor. They could do that because unlike a merger, the TWA transaction was structured as an "asset acquisition with an offer of employment". Not everyone got "offers" and ALPA was more interested in courting the AA pilots and threw the TWA pilots under the bus in trying, supposedly from my understanding, this being one of those ways. Of course, they were sued and lost.

There is a good lesson in that though and that is the consolidation of companies can be structured in ways that give leverage to certain parties and put other parties at a disadvantage. Depending on what happens with Envoy in the future, it may be Envoy ALPA that must make certain exceptions to contractual items which was a point in one of my previous posts, hence my skepticism of the PP being "bulletproof".

LOL who cares? AA is not exactly a dream job. So PSA can't hire them either then? Or can only hire with the understanding they can't flow? Seems like nonsense.

Yes, this was a bad decision, if true. Envoy had to expend a lot of energy and effort to put him in class and walkouts (especially for trivial reasons like aircraft assignment) won't be forgotten. I think anyone who accepts a class at a regional should follow through unless there is some significant circumstance not to. He might have had one, but the timing doesn't sound very good.

I'm not sure how this affects his PRIA as technically I would think he would have begun training with a 121 carrier and failed to complete it, so it may be something he'll have to explain wherever he goes, unless he already has a class date elsewhere and was simply playing whack-a-mole, which in this case wouldn't matter for THAT airline, but what about the next ?

Bad idea to handle it that way and very unprofessional.

Maybe that is only from the April 25th class onwards?
You could be correct. I don't know what they are doing right now with new hires. That would be a recruiter question. What I said about age is what they have done in the past.

They told me the same regarding age determining seniority in class. Pretty standard, unlike some companies that go by SSN. They also told me about guaranteeing equipment, at least for my class on the 25th. Don't know if mine will be the first class with that perk.

AAG...meaning AA, PSA, PDT, Envoy.

Your AA employee number follows you around like a your credit and SSN.

They can see everything you do in one company from the other one.

AA is a dream job for a lot of people. What's wrong with that?

Could be. I remember they offered guaranteed bases in the past at one point in like 2007 or 2008 I think.

So in one sentence you say that AA mgmt structured the deal in a way that would allow them to rape and pillage certain TWA employees without recourse.

Then you say ALPA (who exactly, ALPA national or the TWA MEC, that part I'm not clear) was the one who was helping AA mgmt rape TWA employees.

It seems history is revised against everyone except the vaunted, righteous APA.
