AF is probably the model we're basing our OEM off of. (Being housemates with Airbus etc). When HA pilots in Koapaka say European carriers have a better record and do it better, they tend to forget American is the model for what aviation is around the world. And I'd have to look it up, but probably operate in worse weather and in far greater numbers of flights daily.
Great Points it's funny how HA management had to go shopping to support their OEM push. I will never taxi the 330 even if the Captain offers me the opportunity, it's not worth the risk.

What everyone fails to recognize is that Asian and European carriers spend up to 9 months in initial training for OEM. Most US initial programs are roughly about 3 weeks, so it's not the OEM that makes them safer (this is management's claim) it's training that creates the safety numbers. Give any US carrier 9 months of initial training and we would never have any incidents, it's apples and oranges...

Oh ok, fair enough. Since we are talking merger, etc., my thoughts were, Air France owns KLM and there might be some success there. Thx

Continually posting stupidly divisive statements and signing them "in unity" is pretty douchey.

I think that’s the point. Troll level is near zero. Fosto needs to go back to the basement

Yeah. Fosto, please go to SWA or Delta. You can be equally unhappy and drag them down with you.

Again don't hate those who point out reality, without us you would never know the storm is coming.

Even after all your comments, the goal remains the same, a better contract for all.

No, I am devoted to the Pualani and hoping that AS will fix this mess. Hopefully, those who brought us here will be packing their desks very soon.

In that vein, is there any concrete language in the AS CBA that addresses the holding company operating two sister airlines with different seniority lists? All the discussion here has been on a fully integrated airline, but is there anything that would stop them from running two separate airlines under the same holding company like Air France and KLM or Trans States and GoJet?

There is language. I believe 24 months to merge.
