no, two years is not the better part of a decade.
you seem to be suffering from amnesia and forgetting when you posted on here that you didn't want me on here (more accurately here being a thread on the DL forum) stopping you from being able to say what you wanted.
that post came far more than 2 years ago.
whether AA's competitor employees suffer or not is not the point.
Unions and AA should be worried about AA's business. If Parker made his decision based on increasing the wealth of DL employees, then his business loyalty to AA is even more questionable.
but he is a smart businessman.... he just has mastered the ability to pay people below average wages while expecting them to deliver what he considers industry standard service.
he did it for years at US... it is precisely because US employees delivered what he wanted that he got by with it.
If AA employees accept - either now or in the future - receiving less in total compensation, they are playing into the same game that he successfully used at US.
I honestly thought the AA employees would not allow him to do at AA what he did at US.
btw, 57 AA cancellations yesterday, most of them on M80s to/from DFW - do frontline employees have any impact on that?
