Feb / Mar 2013 US Pilots Labor Discussion

[Pi brat]

Look Pi, a poser. No?
I guess I'm not the only one that see's that coming down the tracks. How about you breeze? Or are you too busy spinning another trans-atl tale?

No, as I told you I know trader. He is a pretty smart guy even if for some reason he can't get over his anger at his east co-workers. He may turn out to be correct.

 

[Pi brat]

No, you idiot, I didn't. Its because of that very fact that you've labelled me a west pilot. Ciabattoni, Rowe, and everyone else that subscribed to their ethos did. Heaven forbid anyone speaking out back then. Look what happens here when you say otherwise - unless you've been vetted by someone like yourself, you're labelled a west pilot. Did I get that right Pi?

Idiot? What's wrong 319? Catching heat on the AWAPPA board today?

Is it hard hitting that backspace key all the time and changing you to we, or have you gotten used to it yet?

 

[EastUS1]

You have got to be either completely sauced or in full idiot mode.

Not all can be always equipped with such surgical wit and precision of thought as you routinely exhibit.

Umm....You sure you don't have some spare "Integrity Matters" T-shirts?...I still have found all my requests for them to fall on deaf, west ears. Heck! I'll even settle for just a "Dire Wolf" one....?

Oh well. I'm already late for my daily pilgrimage to the Holy Shrine of St. Nic. Perhaps we can continue our conversation there.

 

[AAviator]

Say it ain't so !!!!!!!! Can't say you weren't warned.
FLEET:

Is this SLI info
?



777: AA 772s reconfigured in previously-announced higher-density J/MCE/Y layout and find their way onto

legacy-US routes such as PHL/CLT-LHR and legacy-AA routes like JFK/DFW-CDG, DFW/MIA-MAD,
MIA-GIG/SCL, etc.


A330: US A330s reconfigured with MCE and deployed on legacy-AA routes such
as JFK-FCO, JFK-BCN, MIA-BCN, MIA-CNF, etc.


787/A350: 787s introduced per recent AA-Boeing agreement, A350 order possibly cancelled in favor of
additional A320 family jets to rapidly replace US 737s and 757s, and AA MD80s.


767: US 762 fleet parked near-immediately, and replaced with AA 763s or 757s; AA 763 retirement timeline
accelerates.


757: US 757 fleet parked near-immediately, and replaced byAA 757s (either domestic or international
configuration, as applicable) or new narrowbody jets being delivered.


A321: AA/US comingled fleets used throughout network, including increasingly to replace 757s in Hawaii and
Latin America markets, and on transcons; separate AA premium JFK-LAX/SFO A321 plans continue.


737/A320: US 737s parked near-immediately; AA handles 737/A320 mix much like Delta, with 737 being
configured with a larger premium cabin for use in premium domestic markets and transcons, while A320
configured with a smaller premium cabin and used for lower-yielding markets (e.g., non-MIA Florida, leisure
Caribbean and Mexico, PHX/LAS/RNO, etc.)


A319: AA/US co-mingled fleets used throughout domestic/North America network.


MD80: fleet retirement continues and accelerates.


EJet/CR7: EJets will be prioritized first and foremost to more competitive markets where a better product is
required (e.g., ORD and NYC, then WAS and PHL) while CR7s will be flowed into other hubs where AA is more dominant (DFW, MIA, CLT, LAX)


Dash 8: The USExpress fleet of Dash 8s are quite old, and will need replacement at some point, and many of Eagle’s shorter routes out of multiple hubs (including DFW, ORD and MIA) would also be a good fit for a prop; I could see AMR/regionals placing a substantial order for Q400s or ATR72s to fill this role.


INTERNATIONAL NETWORK:


Atlantic: Some shifting and optimization among hubs/gateways; 1 daily FRA and seasonal GLA flights shifted from PHL to JFK (as 757s), and JFK also picks up 1 daily flight to TLV; CLT-FCO shifted to MIA-MXP and seasonal CLT-DUB ended entirely; PHL/CLT-FRA each lose 1 daily and PHL-MUC/ZRH exited entirely (due to dependence on Star connections); seasonal PHL-ATH market exited entirely (due to poor economy) while PHL-BCN and CLT-MAD upgraded from seasonal to year round.



Pacific: Little direct impact from merger, beyond US bringing feed and connectivity from US hubs and strength markets to AA Asia-bound flights instead of onto United codeshare flights; may provide marginal boost to NRT/China flying; longer-term, AA/JL JV adds daily JL 787 on PHL-NRT.


Latin America: Little change beyond CLT losing GIG and likely GRU flying and some Caribbean
weekend flying with that capacity shifted to MIA, although CLT retains substantial capacity to major
markets (e.g., CUN, AUA, PUJ, SJU, STT, MBJ, etc.)

 

[Pi brat]

So how about it- once my girl's got a thousand hours can she get s job at US Scare? I mean, that's the way it works, right PIB? Lol

Not when I was hired. It that how it was when you got hired? Were you horizontal at the time? Please don't teach her your ways, by all means, send her east.

 

[dca319]

No, as I told you I know trader. He is a pretty smart guy even if for some reason he can't get over his anger at his east co-workers. He may turn out to be correct.

But since you don't know me that makes me a west pilot. Guess what, I have anger toward my gullible east co-workers too. Maybe I'll be correct as well?

Sure Colonel. What ever your ego dictates.

 

[EastUS1]

Sure Colonel. What ever your ego dictates.

Or whatever that sorry excuse for a "mind" of yours can handle, little westie.

 

[EastUS1]

But since you don't know me that makes me a west pilot.

Hardly. "you don't know me" is a laughable and downright pathetic defense here. Your entire posting history's one of obsession with the nic, and your use of terms and phrases is, however unknowingly to you, rather unique to those of the west persuasion. Further time wasted on your lying BS would require charging you by the hour.

 

[nevergiveup]

Sure Colonel. What ever your ego dictates.

Move......is that you?

 

[dca319]

Move......is that you?

Sure.

Just what is it you think is coming down the pike next? This contract is on autopilot so all we have left to "obsess" over IS the Nicolau. I wish more would "obsess" over it instead of merely brushing it off as dead. At least Trader understands that.

[background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]The May bid award was published tonight. It looks like the forward movement continues... [/background][background=rgb(245, 245, 255)]This bid also saw the first 3rd listers (New hires hired post AWA merger) make E-190 Captain...[/background]

Did not move one iota for me.........

 

[mrbreeze]

Move......is that you?

Yeah...it's that juvenile DH.

 

[mrbreeze]

I moved up another step on the ladder
