AA is up to something?

I went to the apfa road show @ JFK today. Nothing much was share then we already know.
The union told us that we will not be release or any union on the property. The state of the economy
is.....well we all know how the economy is. the last thing the government want is more people
out of jobs. So no threads of strike. Forget about it. It's not happening.
The union said 95% of the contract is complete. And yes the company wants to start hiring
early next year but it won't until we sign a new contract. This might be the only incentive the
company have to settle so they can start new hires. New hires will not have a pension
plan like the current employees. It will be a company match 401K. The union said that the hours
the company will be able to schedule us will increase but not to what AA wants. After leaving
the meeting it seems to me that the company will be getting some productivity from the
f/a's group. Laura Gladding also spoke about the current company financial situation and it is
not good. She said the company is refocusing it's self and we should see significant growth
in intenational flying. LAX will become our gateway to Asia. So expect additional flying out
our LAX.

Any talk of what the pay increase would be or if AA is going to combine international and domestic operation?
