I expect them(AA) to staff the planes with f/as. You say full compliment. Is that maximum coverage, acceptable coverage or minimum crew. Where do you draw the line on someone working on the plane that isn't a f/a. Many thought the "bag assist" people were ok because it was "easier" but easy or not it was a SCOPE violatiion. So you think I'm stiring the pot because it has "always" been done this way...There hasn't been a loss of 6000 jobs in the past and if you don't protect your career now, who will be on the plane next to make it "easier"? How about minimum staffing as f/as, a non f/a speaker, a chef, a trash person, a nurse, a mechanic, all providing "services" that a f/a now provides on any given flight. SCOPE!
When they have the FSDs or speakers on board they are in addition to the FULL crew. There's no job loss there.
If we saved speaker jobs to work these flights than this would be done oustide the seniority list. Are you suggesting that saving speaker jobs out of seniority is better than saving jobs in seniority order? Call me naive, but I thought YOU were all about doing things according to seniority.
