I’m sorry I won’t ask anymore questions. Thank you obviously this will be great for all of us and work out perfectly. Now where does this pilot sign.

Where did I say that it was a perfectly fantastic deal for us? They also don’t need your signature to get this alliance started anyway. You said this deal was not so hot for American, but I’m sure their management is very happy with it.

 

To get started no they don’t but apparently to finish it they do.

It’s called an opinion but I’m just a pilot who looks at it like a pilot. You apparently have a much higher level understanding.
and to be clear I said it “seems” not so hot for AA. Again my opinion

so we will just put you down as a (yes)

 

That’s fine, I appreciate different opinions. I wasn’t trying to pick a fight....I thought it was just a healthy conversation.

 

Well then! Those last 10 pages were interesting...

So, management has announced this partnership with AA and has said it brings a LOT of revenue to the company, can bring 40 planes in it's originally conceived form back to use, but indications are this LOA will be even bigger than what we know so far. So likely more than 40 aircraft worth of flying. The deal will give JB use of significant new LGA slots, and maybe many more JFK slots. These slots are essentially UNOBTAINIUM. Can't get them anywhere else, and the company WANTS them. And the company has clearly been one of the most aggressive with positioning itself for the future post pandemic.

So why would we think the company will trash it's AA plans and furlough simply because the pilots vote NO and ask for profit sharing language, something that costs them NOTHING for several years and something they had already committed to reviewing in the next year or so?

 

Slots are funny business. They’re worth more than gold until their not. Slots pre pandemic were unobtainable, I imagine these slots won’t be worth much very soon. JFK was said to relax their slot restrictions before this whole thing started, I can’t imagine they won’t relax them now. LGA might be a different story.

 

fair enough I took the post in a more condescending way (seems I shouldn’t have) I’ll just retire to my ultra right wing posts on BP
(that’s sarcasm) I am definitely interested to read this thing and hope it’s good.

 

I'm telling everyone questioning if London will be affected by codeshare to not worry about that. No need to be skeptical when you can find your answer in the docx, that's all I'm saying.

 

keep calm and codeshare on
