American Airlines and Labor Negotiations

[Talos]

There was no job action just piss poor management and 737 issues. Your dreaming if you think something as simple as a promise to not have a future job action means squat to AA. They know it was a bogus claim to begin with. Maybe a few isolated cases but the same isolated crap will happen again the next contract If talks drag on. The only action going on here is slow playing and the use of the railway labor act by the company to their benefit. Well actually having two unions with different agendas should share the blame for stalled talks as well.

You might be right about that. The 737s out and very bad mgmt implementing new ways of doing things that were the worst I've ever seen. The unions got abused in court as they obviously were not prepared. With all the horrible numbers made by the operational changes you would think they would have made a better case. The stuff I saw at DFW this summer was astounding. Maybe there were some incidents for slowing things down, but this was the perfect excuse for very bad mgmt and at the same time they get major advantage in talks with the unions.
