Combined Travel Rules

[AANOTOK]

Ok Genius,
 
Explain to the board how thats gonna work.
 
And people work for US and people work for AA, the companies are both owned by the American Airlines Group, so no, US employees dont work for AA, they work for US Airways and the US CBAs will be honored until there is a JCBA.

700, I'm not really a Genius, I just play one at work...thanks for the compliment though.
As for your "God like" attitude that you know all, get back with me when the dust settles, if I'm
wrong, no problem admitting it. But I highly doubt I will have to....(now I get up from my knees)

 

[Show me the money]

WOW, the US crowd continues to hang on to the I got mine creedo and that what we do at AA is just to put them down. Paranoia is a terrible thing to waste. Here is a news flash, we at AA commute to work we take vacations and our travel program is one of the few things we actually agree that works. Our travel program, ( here is the kicker for all you happy smilling faces at US) is FAIR FOR EVERYONE!!!!!!. I have over 24 years here at AA and have no problems with some who has not been here as long gets on an airplane (again fairness). To all at US who still want to bash You Will be Assimilated. Resistance is Futile.

Change can be difficult at first. This is a typical example. I hope over time we will all see that AA's travel procedure is fair for all.

 

[AirLUVer]

There is a lot of fear of change from both sides on this and many other subjects.  I am middle of the pack seniority wise 15 years.  Most of the people I have worked with at AA are greater than 25 years in seniority with some close to 40 years of seniority.  I do think that the Legacy US employees that are fighting for DOH, better be careful for what they ask for, because I can virtually guarantee that there are a greater portion of AA'ers senior to them, then there were Legacy HP employees.

 

[700UW]

The US East side, which are the majority are very senior.

 

[dfw gen]

Good point with twice the number if employees and since we have not hired anyone for the most part in over ten years you might watch what you wish for. You just might get it....my doh of hire 28 years. Ill probably get to where I want to go.

 

[AirLUVer]

The US East side, which are the majority are very senior.

 
Those with US East will find their relative seniority will drop, especially in comparison to the US West.
 
1.  Legacy US brings under 40,000 employees to the merger, Legacy AA has over 80,000.
2.  Hiring freezes at AA over the last 12 years.
3  The majority of active former TWA employees at AA are extremely senior.

With fcfs, when it comes to international travel at AA are you allowed to check in online or do you have to be physically at the ticket counter with passport/id?

Check in on line and print boarding pass for security. You can even check your bags with a sky cap if one is available and by pass the ticket counter all together.

This includes traveling internationally say from Rome, Italy to JFK?

Yes, you can still check in online but you'll have to check your bags at the ticket counter.

Senior means very OLD

Senior means very OLD

YES, IbPRICK..we all do need to get to work.  I don't know what side of snit planet you are from but that pissy attitude of yours will certainly not be conducive to a good environment at work for you. 
 
I don't need the likes of you to tell me what I need to do in my own personal situation, thank you very much.  You can be rest assured that I will arrive on time irregardless of how it happened.  What you are failing to understand is that this issue is a very important one for a lot of people.  So get over yourself Hitler!

Did everyone make it to work today? Obviously Johnny Kat may not. Alert your supervisor, flights may be cancelled.

 

[madhatter]

If this has been answered elsewhere, I apologize. With the interim travel agreement US dependents could not travel unaccompanied if under age 16 when nonreving on AA.  US allows umnrs based on corporate umnr policy.  Has this restriction been eliminated?

From the TRIP Book (the AA nonrev travel bible):
 
"Unaccompanied Children

Children under five (5) years old cannot travel unaccompanied. Unaccompanied minor forms T502, obtained at any of our ticket counters, must be completed for any child between the ages of 5 and 11 years of age traveling without a passenger (revenue or non-revenue) age 12 or older. The unaccompanied minor service charge is waived for personal non-revenue travel, Employee AAdvantage awards and AA20 tickets.

For information about unaccompanied minors on American Eagle see F*PSM/UM/Eagle.
##Identification - Your unaccompanied children will be asked to show some form of identification, unless they are checked in by you or a relative with proper identification.
##5 to 11 years of age - Unaccompanied children ages 5 through 11 years old are accepted for non-stop flights only. They cannot travel unaccompanied on connecting itineraries and may only be accepted to the first stopover on multi-stop flights. An exception to our nonstop policy can be made if the unaccompanied child holds a confirmed revenue ticket for a connecting flight. Unaccompanied minors ages 8 - 11 may be accepted for standby travel for one (1) flight and be provided escort service at the connecting city if he or she holds a confirmed revenue ticket for the connecting flight. In this case, the applicable unaccompanied minor connecting service fee will apply.
##12 to 17 years of age - Children ages 12 through 17 are discouraged from traveling alone on space available connecting or multi-stop itineraries due to the possibility of being removed en route to accommodate revenue passengers. Final acceptance will be at the discretion of the Manager or Lead Agent on duty at the origin city."

Hope this answers your question. However, don't know if this does/does not apply to PMUS employee children in the interim.
