This is what the “BUT MY QOL” crowd has been warning you about.
so much for this argument. If this past week is any indication, PM, PR, OG is alive and well, even under new contract.

DAL lots of fighting back and forth over various provisions. Could be wrong.
You're not wrong. AA management is doing us a solid. They said what they would do and now they're doing what they said they would.

This place has completely turned around since Isom was put in place.

On Delta's latest earnings call they called out how they are losing their competitive advantage due to "competitors" become much more reliable.

I do play hockey, watch hockey, and have a son that plays hockey. Also have a father that worked for American. Delta has been a better place to work than American for decades. It is what it is. This is first contract cycle in a long time when American matched Delta’s rates. Sorry if truth hurts. Delta got 10.3 percenf for profit sharing. Think American going to beat that? I honestly don’t know, but guessing it won’t.

American is probably better for someone hired today due to seniority. From 2007-2023, Delta hands down better.

No, I don’t think AA will or come close to 10.3%.

With that said I hope you get yourself something nice that makes you happy, because even though you are working at the “best of the best of the best” you come off as angry and salty.

Good luck in becoming Mr. happypilot44

So you were predicting that no bad weather would ever happen again. Got it.

Seems to me if an airline is handing out PM frequently during periods of ops normal, its probably not staffed properly.
