[BR]Fleet, in response to your post, I feel compelled to mention that this will be one of my last posts concerning this topic. It's apparent that no matter how many questions I ask or how many times I ask them, they're not going to be answered. The debate is only a source for much aggravation on either side. No matter how deep the discussion, it will have no impact on the decision of the court. With this, I intend on retiring my boxing gloves... (Don't get offended, y'all, it's a joke)

First, why not read the posts from ExTWACaptain and get a feel for how he posts before you blast him. I don't believe he was trying to be cute or clever. That is not his style. Here is a copy of the post I submitted not long ago that you may not have read.
""As long as you refer to employees as ReAAl AAers or TWAers the longer you fuel the hatred and bitterness. As a former TWAer and now a reAAl AAer, I hope that American Airlines will prosper sooner rather than later. I also hope many people will be called back to work as soon as possible. Why not try to get to know a few of your coworkers. I suspect you would like most of us as we are just like you trying to raise families and pay for mortgages and cars, etc. Yes there are complainers in every workforce and they would be there regardless and will be there regardless. I am grateful to have a job with American Airlines (as all who still have a job should be). I just don't buy the fact that I owe another employee because I have a job. In this industry right now no job is totally secure. I feel fortunate to have a job right now and feel bad for those out of work. If you are employed, feel fortunate. It is not because you are better than the ones furloughed. You are just fortunate.""
Just because you don't share the same view, does not mean a post is unintelligent or unreasonable.

Talked to a Southwest F/A a couple days ago who had left AA a few years ago after having been there for 5 years. Her friends and co-horts scoffed and laughed at her for leaving but she said she couldn't stand the atmosphere there and had a bad feeling about the place. I see what she means now. And most of all she said she likes wearing the tennis shoes at work now.

You should take note. Your incessant rambling is tired and not at all brilliant, just a reflection of your young age. [img src='http://www.usaviation.com/idealbb/images/smilies/2.gif']

hmmm...just looking over Article 1 - (Recognition and Merger/Acquisition Protection) of the APFA latest contract (page 3/ 1-1). TWA f/a's had the SAME sort of language in force when the AA acquisition took place. OF COURSE OUR UNIONS ARE IN COURT TO PROTECT US---AS APFA WOULD BE LEGALLY BOUND TO DO FOR YOU IN LIKE SITUATION// READ IT! Guys--READ IT--and just take a moment to realize that we are all truly equals!! To think that you are immune from the devestation that can happen wihin an airline career is absolutely ludicrous!!!! The darkness of denial will totally sneak up

Why not Bill? Every other topic on this board deviates from original topic, usaully when wingnaprayer or Bob Owens wants to turn the debate to politics.
Or a few decide spelling and grammar are more important than discussion.

You miss the point. No one is trying to win back the contract article. The contract article is not the issue; a fair seniority integration is. If AA is ever subject to a takeover by another airline, you can bet that airline will do the same thing AA did with our contract. And you can bet APFA will do the same thing the IAM is doing now. At least, I hope so.

Mike--I would agree with you if the facts were that cut and dry. The contract language was changed, as I understand it, as part of a written agreement that fair f/a integration would be honored.
What I do not clearly understand is why it was necessary to waive the Allegheny/Mohawk language to get the acquisition approved. If anyone here knows the answer to this--I'd appreciate a response. Thanks!
