Any FA's taking the buyout?

3000 AA flight attendants took the VEOP. I'm told only 350 US flight attendants did. WTF? Why the huge difference? What am I missing here?

More senior workforce at US?
 
And they have been on concessions from 2002 till last year.

The people who ***** about the $ amount are the ones that will never leave. The $ will never be enough.

Nope.  Never happen.  Mike33 is spot on, at least with any amount that the company would ever even dream of offering.

'Concession Air' has paid so little for so long, nobody can afford to quit.
Work 'till you drop dead is the only affordable way.
Cheers.

Those people will always find a reason to complain.

From what I have heard over on the AA side is that many of US's super senior mamas at PHL or the commuters from PIT who have been around since god-knows-when have no interest in ever leaving because they are "triple dipping" -- old enough to collect their PBGC, Social Security, plus whatever their paycheck is.
 
Can't wait to fly with these old birds  :glare:

At some point they will fail recurrent Training / CQT.  We have lost a few in the last few years when they do the CPR certification.  They cant do the proper compressions on the CPR dummy.  It's all about strength.
