Who wants the third largest airline in the country shut down around election day?
I hope they expect support from me as a mechanic.It's like the pilots sit in the cockpit and say to each other, you're awesome, no you're awesome, we should go on strike because no one else could or would do this job, I can work in China making $300k, so AA WILL pay me $300k (even though Chinese and Arab airlines are subsidized by their Gov.) You're awesome we can go on strike, you're awesome. ya we can go on strike, the judge won't do anything to us, we're pilots! But what about the time the APA did an illegal work action and was find $46 million? AA forgave that debt, because we're pilots and we're awesome.
Clearly a case of living in the cockpit bubble and fertilized by weak management.
That WAS the intent, wasn't it? A little bit of "me too" is a helluva lot cheaper than a fair deal.AA can afford to give a little more to the pilots. All they have to do is give them the money they saved on the twu contract!!
Thanks, twu....
Work with your possible merger partners 14000 pilots strike, WOW!!!!!!
I hope they expect support from me as a mechanic.
I can't tell you how many times during a real bad day when "everyone" assumed mechanics were "doing something," a captain would tell me..."LISTEN, I WANNA FLY TODAY, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR PROBLEMS."
Sorry, I will not support any ILLEGAL job action!
ok... but what other strategies does APA have ready and available when they are told they cannot strike?
A strike in bankruptcy? I didn't know this was possible.
I like when they do a ground interrupt and say you can sign it off, I'm just covering myself, or when a F/A says don't take this plane OTS I want to fly this and be done for the month, told to me on Aug 17th.
The reason we can't fly jump seat in cabin or cockpit, it's in the pilots and FA's contract for them alone or pilots from OTHER airlines. Big happy family. Hurry for me I got mine!
Why not?
If AA tells Exxon "I'm only payiong you $1per gallon because I'm in BK". what do you think Exxons response will be "You aint getting any gallond from us pal , BK or no BK.
If AA told PONY that they were only going to pay $100 to land at JFK because "we are in BK and we can do anything we want", guess what, that plane aint leaving JFK till they pay what the Port tells them they have to pay.
So if AA tells the pilots "We are paying you what we feel like paying and we can because we are in BK" then what is the legal basis to force the pilots to accept that and not withdraw their services? The RLA says that if a carrier unilaterally changes compensation that the workers can strike without an NMB rel;ease or 30 day cooling off period. Other than BK is there any other legal way a carrier can unilaterally change compensation?
