Spirit Pilots - Please ignore these immature and typical comments in light of the more important things, and continue standing strong.

It was an absolute pleasure picketing with your group yesterday in FLL (6/16). I saw an absolutely unified pilot group intent on holding the line. There were 7 of us from AA that walked alongside your group. My response to every Spirit pilot who thanked me for being there was, "Thank YOU for holding the line." It was an honor to be there supporting your cause.

Spirit Pilots, you guys rock!

Question

I've got a question for you: If AA F/As strike after their cooling off, wll you honor their picket line? Or will you cross it?

Easy for you to say; your career wasn't ruined by the most inequitable, most one-sided and most destructive seniority integration in airline labor history.

AA management and their 'unions' will never live that down, and their reputation and their legacy in the industry speaks for itself.

I guess living with a sore foot it will be.

Actually, I was furloughed because 600ish of your ilk went above me on the seniority list in said merger.....So I do have a little perspective.

Ultimately I decided that working for AA wasn't in my (or my family's) long term best interests and quit (left the industry, read: moved on) when the right opportunity came along a few months after recall. Your welcome for the seniority number.

Not interested in a debate. Flame Away. Or, we could go back to the thread topic -- your call.

Hey 73,

I've never been so anxious to see a response on a forum.

The question still is: Will you cross the AA FAs picket line should they strike?

Waiting...

Only 600 integrated above you? That would make you a late '99 or early '00 hire at AA. You would have been furloughed in late '03, or early '04. Without the TWA buyout, and subsequent stapling of 1300 TWA pilots (60% of TWA list) to the bottom of AA's list, you would have been furloughed in late '01 or early '02 instead. (You're welcome for taking your furlough for you...)

PS: If you've quit the industry, why do you waste your time with this website?

They probably have'nt thought about that course of action yet.

Sorry for the delayed response, I was on a trip.

Based on the unity of the AA employees today - the collective anger over how our management has treated us - I have no doubt whatsoever that APA would instruct us to honor the APFA picket lines. So no, I would not cross.

It's my understanding a group of former TWA F/A's are dying to cross if it should come to that.

I wonder if any of the former TWA pilots (furloughed or not) will offer their services as well ?
