AMR braces for another protest, more bankruptcy drama | wfaa.com Dallas - Fort Worth

DALLAS - AMR, American Airlines' parent company, has headed back to court today.
Several items are on the docket in New York, including 13,000 job cuts and a reduction of $2 billion in labor costs annually.
Meanwhile, another battle will be brewing this morning at the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Starting at 11 a.m., American Eagle flight attendants will line up outside Terminal B on the upper level in mass, protesting what they call outrageous Chapter 11 demands.
"Nothing has changed except that bankruptcy gives management a hammer and a process to demand unreasonable concessions form workers," said Robert Barrow, union president for American Eagle.
Barrow told News 8, Eagle flight attendants have received protest support from the world's largest flight attendant union, the Association of Flight Attendants.
Flight attendants will be in uniform, but they will not be working on the clock. The purpose of the protest is to rattle management in an attempt to have them reconsider what attendants have called an attack on their contract. Prior to American Airlines' bankruptcy filing, flight attendants were negotiating for a new contract and management had already agreed to pay raises, among other things.
If the judge in New York approves AMR's bankruptcy proposals, any deals made with the union will be void.
In the tornadic storms that hit North Texas last week,there was millions of dollars in damage to AMR planes. Rivals have pursued mergers and the company's unions are fighting for job security and pay raises.

I wish our union did something, besides send out emails about how they can not tell us anything and have been meeting with lawyers, and analysts. Sounds like what the company says.

Curious to see if AMR throws the tornado damage onto the already massive heap that they believe labor is responsible for paying for ?

I am sure a large part is insured.

No doubt, but why not get something for it ?

I expect it to be included in today's sobbing and sniffling to judge Lane abouyt the terrible woes in play and how important it is to get relief.

If the last leg of your sequence is a deadhead back to your base can you skip it and fly home? I thought I remember reading this somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Are we still paid for it?

Still check in for your XX back to base..and if possible, catch a ride home on another carrier..

Oh, and be careful if you're on reserve and could be extended after the flight back to base

Thanks, do you know if I will still get paid for the deadhead?
