IAG, not AIG...BIG DIFFERENCE

Thanks, :)

So let me get this straight, we need 1.2 billion dollars worth of concessions from labor, will make the other 3/4 billion dollars from other cuts, will increase revenue by 1 billion to a total of 3 billion dollars in reorganization. But we are losing 1/2 billion a month. My math doesn't add up, we still have a deficit of 3 billion. AMR is being very cocky in this BK, this is going to get interesting in the courts. Between CEO saying it doesn't listen to employee protest, to saying the pre-bk proposals were to generous and came to the conclusion we needed to cut 4 times that much, to pre-bk loosing 1 billion per year and during b/k doing that in 2 months, while cleaning the books from bad contracts, parked airplanes and others. This will get very bad and the judge might be put in a bad situation. I am glass we have a democrat in office and it's election year.... ha ha, j/k

I hear Mesa may take over 10 of your ERJs and fly them with their pilots.

Thats fine, nothing against MESA pilots. Just our MEC who stinks at protecting our pilots by watering down our scope last ummer with lies to the pilots.

But what do you expect from ALPA.

Doubtful, Mesa just got rid of their ERJs I highly doubt they'd take on a small fleet of 10 for what'll amount to a low ball short term contract.

I doubt even RAH or ExpressJet are interested given the terms AMR is likely to offer. Why spend the money and resources training pilots (that are becoming harder to find) for a very low profit margin temporary contract.

I think AMR would have to promise bigger jets or a longer contract to make it worthwhile for them, that would of course involve retraining at a later date that's more $$$$. Is it really even worth their time to bid?

That's why is likely that if AMR will outsource any flying it will be the larger RJ it might be able to acquire from the APA SCOPE changes!

I hear MESA can't even recall the current pilots it has to cover their current flying!

I agree...

Did you catch the childish email the mec sent out, about recalling the mec. They think by publishing the names of the people leading the recall will make them stop. If anything it boost support for the recall, now we can talk to them and help recall management i mea. The Mec. They even called those pilots insignificant. I have to say, the only people i think are insignificant are the MEC AND NC, as they agree to anything management says.
