American Airlines CEO Robert Isom has pledged to match our industry peers in the current bargaining environment. In the coming days, your union leadership will endeavor to determine whether Mr. Isom plans to follows through on that pledge in light of this latest development.

As APA performs its due diligence and formulates next steps, we encourage you to likewise review the details of the United pilots’ AIP.

Thank you for your continued engagement and support. We will update you as appropriate."
Here's the next step. APA begs Isom to match UA and DAL payrates. Done. Zero lifting. Yet another missed opportunity for AA pilots to raise the bar, which is what pattern bargaining is all about.
Stay far away from ALPA. We don't want you.

What pattern bargaining?! Our union was, and probably still is, ready to settle for Delta minus. The majority of the pilot group shares the same sentiment. In fact, we took great care to "surpass" Delta's pay without triggering their snap-up clause.

Utterly shameful, embarrassing, and sets a bad precedent.

Well in May of 2022 United announced a TA that failed and was worth less then the one they now have. Since that time AA Union leadership rejected a better TA than the one United membership rejected and Delta secured an even better yet TA, AA announced a better TA than the one they previously rejected and now United has a better TA than the one they previously rejected last year.

I called those events pattern barging.

Of course, how convenient that we completely overlooked leveraging anything Delta negotiated, except for pay rates.

I'm absolutely thrilled about the prospect of AAPA swooping in to salvage this situation and generously sprinkling a few more dollars to keep the "yes" voters obediently in line. It's truly a masterclass in sarcasm.

So your mad Delta went high enough to secure a TA without a failed vote and break a loop of 1Up for others to party up too because it isn’t enough compensation and benefits or just harms your personal pride?

Your preferred option is Delta mgmt and goes low enough to secure a failed TA after watching two others fail, and we get to where we’re are now with more pride in ourselves by 1Uping each other to the exact same same spot vs an exit and party up.

Do you enjoy vacations less if your wife gave you driving instructions vs navigating yourself while driving? Or do you enjoy them based on the reality of where you are? Is it important to tell her you don’t need instructions?

Is your pride that high? How we got here is more important than getting here?

I don't think there can be a vote. APA and management need to come together and add something that will keep this alive. I have a reasonable amount of faith APA will pursue this and will put pressure on management to do so given we've already received multiple emails within hours of the UA AIP.

First, it’s honestly difficult to read you.

Second, you make no sense. I quite literally wrote the opposite of what you’re inferring.

I don’t disagree with your premise.

What I do disagree with is that APA was ready for this. Adaptability is a 4 letter works for APA.

Well maybe try to reread it, with an additional ounce of humility.
