Sounds like those AAL pay rates mask their lack of parity in work rules with Delta (or even us in certain respects).

If you don't know anyone over there (at AA) and hear first hand some of the stuff in their contract you wouldn't believe it.
I have a buddy there for about a year and a half and he's constantly mentioning some thing or other that's allowed or not allowed and my only response is "are you f-ing kidding me?!?"
'Course having said that, they still have plenty of good stuff that we don't!

I loved training in FLL last time. I would much rather be getting paid 50 hours to drift off in ground school for 3 days, rather than do 2 Spirit unproductive 4 days.
We all know this LOA isnt going to provide the language to get paid 50+ hours for "at home ground school." I like being home but you are still going to have to travel to FLL for a day of drills anyways, and travel back and forth each way. Since I have to go anyways, Ill stay for the entire 5 days, and you will have to pay me, versus 3 days to FLL with travel, for a lot less pay.
And remember 3 days of training will NOT touch 2 4-day trips for paid drops, 4 or 5 days to FLL WILL either touch 2 4-day trips or provide for 7 days consecutive and require a drop.

New LGA layover kinda sucks. Rooms are okay, food is pretty scarce. Choices are Columbian market, TV Dinners from the lobby or delivery from dodgy pizza places. Location is awful, long walk to Roosevelt Ave. I almost would rather be at DTW. Almost.

They are definitely doing this at the job fair. They are definitely telling the ground instructor prospects this when the go looking at Embry-Riddle. "come teach our ground school for 2 years. Then you go straight to the line without having to work at the regionals. Upgrade is 2.5 years."
I guess they aren't lying, but it's not going to stay at 2.5 years.
I'm planning on 6 years to upgrade - so 5 more years to go for me.
Anyone get the wierd feeling you're missing something by not writing in the aircraft maintenance log if nothing needs to be written up on the planes with the new AML?
