Major congratulations to the APFA join negotiations team, to President Laura Glading for being the architect, and we would be remiss if we didn't at least acknowledge this management team for being motivated to settle this in a productive and expeditious manner, preserving a great working relationship between labor and management. Kudos all around! And it will be great thing to brag to my friends at Delta how I will soon be compensated better than they are, and with enviable work rules to boot   ;)

Not if we end up in this Alliance we won't.

The FA's at AA weren't that far behind Deltas FAs but we are very far behind Delta, not just in pay but Vacation, sick time, Holidays and benefits as well. So achieving an "ILC" with the FA's likely won't cost AA very much, if anything, but we are so far behind, in order to even match Delta, the company will have to show a sizable increase in costs. The IAM sold out by giving a super profitable carrier a bankruptcy contract, we would be foolish to think they will do any better at the helm of the Association. They will claim that we have to accept less to save the jobs (of future dues payers that may not ever even enroll in A&P school) and continue to accept inferior pay and benefits in exchange for a higher aircraft to mechanic ratio than our peers, thing is AA doesn't only have a higher mechanic to airplane ratio, they also had a higher to FSC, Pilot, FA ratio as well but none of those groups were pushed to accept a very distant bottom of the industry by their union to maintain that.

Congrats to Laura and the APFA for continuing to get the best deals available for "THE MEMBERS".

Thanks Bob, love being mentioned in the same breath as the Pilots and F/A's.
Harvard for my boy!  :rolleyes:
 
Seems like so many good things happening to all the work groups around us, I'm guessing, the mechanics will just continue to languish given our representatives. So sad....

This is what happens when you have one union, representing one work group.

It's also what happens when you don't have competing interests within the same workgroup. Flight attendants in any base are going to have similar goals from a contract, and there's not a lot of difference between what you'd do in DFW-D and PHL-I.
 
Except that LUS doesn't have separate crew bases for the domestic and international, so there is no PHL-I crew base. LAA will have that for a few more months.
 
Following Friday’s tentative agreement with the Flight Attendant union and recent company discussions, we accelerate labor inflation for Flight Attendant & Pilot groups to 2015 from 2016. No details have been disclosed, but APFA indicated the agreement contains the highest wages and best work rules of any network carrier which is not a surprise since American Airlines management preferred fixed increases to profit sharing and is committed to strong labor relations
 
Industry leading
Two words the twu can never say
However they can say Industry leading concessions
congrats to the APFA
Can I do a lateral
 
so when will the language of the TA be released?

did you really expect union leadership to call it anything other than industry leading whether it is or not?
