I don't work for AA but I am sorry to say I think the TWA guys need to really worrying about there futures with AA.

Sad day for MCI. I know some guys up there who will probably be out of work pretty soon. The cuts are really big, and I guess unless most of MCI takes the VBR there will be some furloughs.

I am glad to see that AA has not followed the "lead" of other airlines and shipped this work offshore. Not a comfort to the guys in KC who will lose their jobs, but I'd much rather see the work go to TULE than to South Korea or Central America.

From the article:

"American's plan to eliminate about 6,800 jobs companywide and trim its capacity by 8 percent. Of those, 1,300 are targeted to be maintenance jobs and 200 are in related management and support positions. "

Does anyone know what are "support positions" ?

Clerks, secretaries etc, workers who are not management but are not union either.
