You sir, are a delusional cheerleader. APA will never catch up and real profit sharing isn't coming back.

Among the large airlines where you fit in the hiring curve, and the hiring wave, and the future retirement bubble, might be a better long term better analysis vs a snapshot of a contract that will only be around possibly for 10 or 20% of your career

Thank you. What do we have left to negotiate with?

AA has lagged DL and UA for quite a long time. I wouldn't expect that to ever change.

Well that's a true statement given your short career.

When has AA ever had an ILC?

How about "when has UA and DL had lousy contracts?"

Shoot, or maybe you could answer -

When did LUS have a lousy contract?
When did LUS have a good contract?
What was AA's contract like back then? What decision was better in the long term, LUS with perhaps a good contract or AA with perhaps a bad contract?

I get the distinct impression that if everyone quit taking the bait mainline would still be here point/counterpointing with himself.

What does any of that have to do with me asking when AA had an ILC? Nice deflection.

1991.

Oh yeah, you weren't here for that, huh?
LUS had a great contract in the early '80s.
But don't let history or facts ruin your pity fest.
