check load factorsThere is over capacity in the market...plane and simple. Expect AA to launch a big seat sale. Prices will be slashed to fill seats and the market will be forced to follow. The same gameplan was used by US Air when they filed for bankruptcy.
What do you want me to do, sugarcoat the reality for you? My response was to Hopeful claiming the pilots would lose the most. That also seems to be a theme with many at AA that I have run across and I pragmatically responded with the truth. Don't like it? Niether do I. Just about every job in the USA requiring minimal education has been outsourced or beat into the ground regarding pay/benefits, mainly by Wall Street pr@#s that simply dance from making money from manufacturing in Syracuse that was switched to Shanghai. These same pr#$#s expect security and protection for the energy supplies to run their Asian factories and investments to be provided with the blood and lives of the same US high school graduates that they stole their future from. Take a look at the Iraq oilfield and Afghan mining contracts awarded to the Chinese.
Am I clear now?
Some do, some don't. I ran into an ex AA pilot who was now flying for some charter company and he turned down recall.That is why pilots come back to AA on recall after years of being laid off. Get over yourself.........
Thank You!!!!!Wrong, you see my tools and knowledge of systems are transferrable to work on anything mechanical, be it a lawnmower engine , an x ray machine, an air conditioner or a power plant supplying electricity to a city, and most of those jobs top out more than what we make. Mechanics will be fine. By the way AA employs mechanics in Europe, and they earn around $10hr more than us.
Horton pays more in property taxes than you make yearly.
I couldn't afford 74k.
He wouldn't give a rats arse about any employee.
He wants rid of OH.
He wants rid of pensions.
He wants rid of retiree medical.
He wants rid of pilot scope.
Did Horton receive bonuses? You bet he did.
The reason Arpey left is he wasn't going to be the hatchet man.
You better hang on because its all set in motion.
Tells me that your recall rate was higher than ours, out of 300 in NY they got less than 20.Only 1 out of 10 are accepting the recall offer to return to American as a pilot. some classes have been short of spots because of last minute cancellations.
What does that tell you?
Not so, they ruled that the injunction blocking the strike was legal, not that striking was illegal and it was never brought to supreme court.Subsequent rulings from the courts have outlawed the unions from striking upon an abrogation.
They can't afford to lose mechanics.During the United BK they gave retiree medical as an incentive to retire. I doubt they get rid of retiree medical. If so, nobody would retire and I think they'd love to have as many retire as possible.
It's amazing how quickly everyone wants to start blaming the pilots for all the problems.Before the pilots are solely blamed for BK...........
Horton said, however, that there was no single factor that led to the bankruptcy filing. He said the company needed to cut costs in view of the weak global economy and high, volatile fuel prices. The average price of jet fuel has risen more than 50 percent in the past five years.
