AA SVP Jim Ream on Last Best Offer Video

[Zom JFK]

Nice crap selling there Baghdad Jim. Saddam Hussein could have used you as one of his minister of DISinformation.

NEVER in my 44 years have i've EVER seen a company stick up for a union as AA does for the Totally Worthless Union. The sad part is that there will be plenty of dumb F's that will believe everything Baghdad Jim is pushing. They should realize the only thing that AA/TWU/Baghdad Jim wants to push in is the memberships stools with this LBO.

Revrend!

If Overspeed were to make a video, it would divulge his identity. That is not going to happen

Chuck is that the best you can do? No I will keep posting factual information instead of making videos with misleading information and false predictions made by wannabe attorneys and financial experts.

Don't worry Chuck we are going to find out what happens when we vote to reject the LBO if your prayers are answered. I really do hope I am wrong about the 3/22 term sheet being implemented and the TWU legal team pulls off a miracle and stops abrogation. I really hope you are right. If not you and the video boys will be at the door when each of the 4,300 are walked out saying, "I swear, I thought we had this one in the bag."

Every person at AA has some form or another of compassion for those that are about lose their jobs.
It is not the Union's responsibility to hire, fire, or dictate headcount. But they will be leaving, not because you failed to give enough this time, they are leaving because your last concession for jobs program FAILED them. And now you want to repeat the exact same mistake cloaked in a different form of threat!

You have been led into a trap to believe otherwise by AA Management, and they are using that belief to manipulate and control you. All the while they make you believe that you are doing what is right and that we actually have a say in the outcome.

The fact still remains, that right here at American Airlines and at the Tulsa Maintenance Base, this concessions for jobs idea has been tried and failed on more than one occasion. They get you to bend on every work rule, and allow many contractual language statements that leave the future to be determined "at their discretion" and you do nothing but screw us all and in the end out of the same jobs you claim to save because those jobs are all actually lost in the long run anyway. Meanwhile, you ignore this history at AA and instead find specific issues at other carriers to propagate your ignorance and stupidity whem your own history right here at AA is all you need to learn from.

Name one single company that is thriving in any industry, that keeps more heads on the payroll than is needed to produce and then has a union that refuses to allow accountability of production quotas, safety quotas, and attendance quotas? Combine that with weak and inept management that allows you the union fool leader to keep running the company and you have a recipe for the destruction of an entire workforce and profession.

You and the other stooges that have egoic minds that are useless and clueless actually believe you can step in and do what management cannot do. You claim to be saving jobs with this bullcrap you are advancing, when in fact you doing nothing more than causing the destruction of all of us. We are falling on the sword on a regular basis to save jobs, when in fact we are doing nothing more than bleeding to death from the wounds of the sword.

Pull your F'ing head out and quit living a false fantasy and lead this union membership into a real cultural change that will secure all of our futures instead of destroying a once great profession. Go negotiate increased pay and benefis along with accountability procedures, cut whatever heads are not needed, and then demand changes in management to embrace and enforce this idea and then, and only then will see you real jobs being saved.

No I will keep posting factual information

Still waiting for you to start.

Honestly, you single issue voters are the misguided ones. This whole democrats represent labor issue is a fallacy at best. Like E says, does nothing else concern you? Do you like the idea of being able to own property or even own a gun? Obama and his supporters don't. Do you support abortion or gay marrage? Obama and his supporters sure do. I really don't see any guys at work supporting any of these liberal (communist) beliefs. So why vote for somebody based on a single issue - that has been proven to be BS?

Yeah, this guy's right. Remember, communist Russia never had any guns, and everyone there that was married was gay. Oh, and abortions were celebrated!
Last time I checked, you still have your guns and god. And Obama isn't coming after them at all. Oh, and equating liberals to commies is like equating conservatives to fascists. Not true for either side.

 

[Mr Red]

Last I heard the Taliban considers themselves CONSERVATIVE.
Real good company.

 

[Strake]

So, a union member who is against abortion, pro-gun, and pro-fossil fuels is supposed to leave all of their other convictions behind, and vote for Democrats just because they do a better job of pandering to the labor movement for money for nothing in return?...

Maybe you should start a campaign for all union members to go vegetarian and only drive hybrids, too, while you're at it.

A union member who is so concerned with the moment of conception yet thinks nothing of sending out 20 somethings off to die in a war that ends up being nothing more than a wild goose chase for WMD? Not to mention all of the innocent people in the middle east that have gotten killed in the process? Oh! the sanctity of life! Give me a break hypocrits. Yeah I'm a democrat and you will get my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands. The "real" republicans ( the ones with money) would love to have our guns but they know the dupes would turn on them in a heartbeat and they need that vote. The only reason we're still hooked on fossil fuels is because there is still money to be made off of it. We have the technology but lets just keep polluting the planet and bleeding the consumer at the pump as long as we possibly can so we can keep lining our pockets. The Democrats are not the party thats trying to bust unions, the GOP is. They always have. Its number one their list. The thing with the leaders of the GOP is they are just so darn good at lying and the working people that vote for them are so easliy duped. Who do think Mr.Horton and company vote for?

Might have been a valid argument during the draft days, or even in 2003 when people were still signing up just for the free college tuition, but my son and everyone else wearing the uniform for the past 10 years knew full well what they were in for when they signed on the dotted line.

Yeah, let's build the high speed trains and ground airplanes instead, right? That'll do wonders for your future as an airplane mechanic.

Now *that's* funny....
