AMR to train replacment FA's
 

I hear some British Airways pilots are more than willing to work in the cabin.

I guess a strike might be a reality soon since AMR management is preparing to train scab labor. I hope the FA union hits management where it hurts. It might set a good precedent that employees will no longer take the abuse. It might also accelerate a contract for APA.

Without a doubt, that is always the best approach.

I flew with a guy last month, he worked for BA 10 years... I brought up the inmenent F/A strike, he seemed disgusted, he said the BA F/As didn't really have it that bad, good contract, QOL, works rules, etc.

I don't know, I guess everybody has a different view and/or take

WOW....you're gonna make a fine AIRLINE pilot...keep up the attitude, you're on the right track

Northwest did the same thing. When I was an intern, my manager was trained and ready to go in the event there was a strike.

If the FA's follow the proper avenues of CBA negotiations & it comes to that.....what do you expect???? Let me guess.....your advocating MORE open ended negotiations on the road to no where??? Oh yeah!! that makes total/complete sense......Brilliant!!:rolleyes:

On the other end of the house, just ask the APA about their progress at the table. AMR has shown first hand that they have no motivation in which to resolve the CBA dance between any of it's major labor groups.

I remember the last time the AA FAs went into CHAOS mode. It made jumpseating real easy. AA keep moving the planes because they could crew it at the destination so you could have a MD-80 to yourself.

Hypothetical question (because we all know that the gov won't let them strike) but if the FAs did strike, would jumpseating on AA be crossing a picket line?
