The public generally cares about pricing and schedule. They get upset when their flight is late. When they miss their connection because AA delayed their first flight. When they didn't get their upgrade. Those are what the passengers really care about. You will find some that are sympathetic. But how far past the picket line will they care? AA put a letter out saying what they offered. We know it's garbage but it's a PR stunt to see if other employee groups will respond in the companies favor. I look on the bright side. Tomorrow is holiday pay, then I get a scheduled pay raise later this month. Negotiations are still scheduled at a normal pace of two a month. Summer is winding down so the loads drop off and I can non rev a bit easier in the coming weeks. We are finally getting our equity money back. Should I expect more?
Yes I should but I doubt it. Holidays are coming. I suggest we all enjoy them because not much is probably going to happen anytime soon.
