it’s all part of the plan AA is so embarrassed we kicked them to the curb they are driving up the price so much to get us back that SK was so scared he would lose us he had to drop everything and fly down to beg our fearless leader to allow untied the privilege of partnering with us
I know I'm responding to a troll but.
"We had to plead to be let out of this contract,” he continues. “Any inference that anything other than that occurred is a fabrication."

There’s a little more context. AA started the war by raising pilot pay. They refused to contribute to the pay increase at mesa. Without staffing mesa could not fly the required frames on the CPA so they were fining mesa. The missing piece here is that AA did offer an extension and new rates. But mesa could not upgrade sufficient captains to be able to meet the demand. So it’s a stalemate and it was a mutual parting of the ways. AA Needs the mesa lift short term. But mesa can’t do it at the old rates and without some contract relief. This is a good deal for mesa. Probably better for mesa than it is for American.

They care. Who do you think bankrolled the hiring bonuses all those years?
