7576FO

do you think you'll make it throught the next level of managment cuts?

Well, it only took a few nights in a hotel with Mr Parker so I'm sure we can work through it whatever the timeframe.

Well, with a 2022 age 65 Captain's retirment date, I think I'll be alright. Thanks for asking though!

The real question is you'll be able to hold DFW CA after the merger. My guess is if you do, it'll be in the A319.

Not sure why you and a couple of others choose an approach aimed at trying to belittle those who don't agree with your position 100 percent of the time.

Is this really about me? If it is, I'm flattered . I'll say it again, I'll be alright whatever the outcome.....truly!

Why don't we return to arguing the merits of a possible agreement once more detail are released.

You're wound a bit tight today, Tom. Go down to the rumpus room, fix a fresh gin and tonic and throw a few darts at your Doug Parker picture..........I think your B.P. will drop 20 points at least.

Haha....you do have a sense of humor and that's a good thing! I'm a pretty calm person and harbor no ill will towards Mr. Parker. I just choose to root for the home team.

Thanks for the banter

Somewhat positive development:

The Allied Pilots Association is telling its members in a Thursday hotline that its board of directors has more time to review American Airlines’ last, best and final offer,” but not too much time –* only until Wednesday, June 27:

“At the request of APA and AMR management, United States Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane has agreed to stay his ruling on our collective bargaining agreement until Friday, June 29. Judge Lane is presiding over the AMR restructuring case and is considering management’s motion to abrogate our collective bargaining agreement.

“The interim period is intended to give APA and management additional time to discuss and deliberate details of management’s ‘final offer’ and to develop related contract language. In voting ‘no’ yesterday against approving management’s final offer as a tentative agreement, Board members cited the lack of specificity in various areas and the need for additional time to properly analyze various contractual provisions and related language.

“Once APA and management have had an opportunity to address the APA Board’s concerns, the Board will vote again on whether to approve management’s offer as a tentative agreement. At Judge Lane’s request, that vote is to take place no later than close of business on Wednesday, June 27.

“Meetings between APA and management are slated to continue through this coming weekend. The APA Board of Directors will reconvene on Monday, June 25 following a weekend recess to provide guidance to the APA negotiating team in the ongoing discussions.”
