OH COME ON!!! AMR stuff has nothing to do with us? Are you on the Dalpa NC? It sounds like it. Now our NC has some extra work to do. No more "The NMB will get involved because A They won't be paid severe BK wages if this Parker deal goes through,A asked for too much....." and it looks like he is well on his way to pleasing the creditors (Boeing/Airbus), the Gov't (keeps HQ in DFW) while saving 6200 of the proposed 13,000 job cuts, and the big unions. The new AA/US numbers have just replaced the old baseline for calculating our raises. It's the cost of doing business. And, the more of a raise we get, the more it will affect the new AA when they have to match it 2 years after DOS. Our guys had better start looking at this soon. NO EXCUSES.

Guys,

I know the jury is still out on this USAIR/AMR deal but I am beginning to like this Doug Parker guy (not really):

First he makes a run at DAL in BK and drives the DALPA claim way up. Now he proposes locking in pay-raises for the APA guys as we are in section 6.

I know that he does not give a crap about us but in some weird karma way his evil machinations seem to all bode well for us.

Hope it all stays positive for all except AMR management who I don't really care for (my Brother-In law is an American Pilot).

Just wait dude, just wait. Stealth becomes the operative tactic.

for a moment I thought you were for real about the Vikings. Everytime I hear about a team moving I recall a funny opening to a horrible movie:

Soon it was commonplace for entire teams to change cities in search of greater profits.

The Minneapolis Lakers moved to Los Angeles, where there are no lakes.

The Oilers moved to Tennessee, where there is no oil.

The Jazz moved to Salt Lake City, where they don't allow music.

The Oakland Raiders moved to L.A. and then back to Oakland. No one in Los Angeles seemed to notice.

The search for greener pastures went on unabated. Continued expansion diluted the talent pool, forcing owners to recruit heavily from prisons, mental institutions, and Texas

oh crap, the landing currency warning is for real...

I have to say, I've benefited mightily from the bucket system at 80 and next month, I'll be seriously confusing the neighbors on whether I just collect unemployment... and I still think bucket 1 should be lower!
