American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

Correct me if I’m wrong, but what you’re saying is most there feels that Delta gives a damn about them.
Very few at American feels that way,I’ve never felt that way. I’m just a number to AA.

Anyone who works for a large Corporation and thinks they are more than just the Employee # that’s assigned to them are fooling themselves. I can guarantee that even Doug Parker himself has an Employee # that someone bestowed on him that he needs to use to access Company gateways.

The trick is learning to accept that you aren’t anything more than that number at the end of the day.

Weasy not true you must have some flexibility the way you bend over for this association.

The quickest path to most destinations is usually in a straight line ATD.

You think they treat you fairly??

Hell no! What gave you that idea?.

DL has done very well at figuring out what motivates people and built around it accordingly. For some, it's all the warm fuzzies and "hurray for everything" celebrations. For others, it's a nice pile of ca$h on Valentine's Day. And some just still like having a little pride in their work. All of those result in an increase in operational performance, which then gets rewarded (food, monthly payouts for meeting metrics, etc.). That then creates a positive feedback loop.

They have also invested heavily in tools and programs to help us do our jobs much more easily/effectively.

To be clear, I think most people see it for what it is; a company doing whatever it takes to get its workforce to perform at a high level. But if it works, it works.

I honestly have no idea; we haven't heard anything yet.

He does reserve that right as the TWU International President who was Elected by the Local delegates.

If you recall Jim Little pulled a TA in 2011 when the Local President’s said that they felt like they were coerced into accepting a deal under pressure from the NMB Mediator.

When you first came on your level of Professionalism was outstanding. I suspected by your handle that you were either currently in the ATD or were a former rep that still supported providing factual relevant information.

You recently stated that you lost your insider who was part of the Company and that again told me that you once were somebody.

Your sniping and vitriolic posts I think are beneath you. You come across as pretty bitter lately.

This is tacky and classless but absolutely within your character from knowing your Biography.

Anyone who feels they can donate something it would be greatly appreciated. Steve was one of the best Crew Chiefs I ever had in DFW and is a very good, decent Family man.
