Why are you disseminating misinformation? The contract is not full in effect. Everything scheduling-rules wise is PER EACH OLD CBA. BTW, you are the one that, I believe, pounded on your chest yelling out how much money US Airways F/As make - since like last month (just kidding). BTW, and that's nothing to brag about when once F/As at one company even topped out at $68, and you barely touched $37 at after 20sum years. Please, also be factual enough to remember those days where AWA paid $15/hour the first year, while all others never paid less than $20 in that same time frame, and as some regionals like Comair paid $21. Only Eagle, I can remember being as bad as AWA, hence I turned them down for a job.
Anyway, the point is that running things under AWA management will result in drastic reductions OF EVERYTHING GOOD, in the long term, at American Airlines. Things that are due for implementation, will be dragged out for ever, with the sole purpose of increasing share-holders profit. Anything, where additional money can be squeezed out from employees, for being employed with them, will be thought of and possibly proposed again. I think that's the common theme of AWA that I am trying to make you aware of.

Usairways, the airline that had the gall to charge for water. No legacy ever sank that low.
Believe me I would, I wasn't the one who made the arrangements. I go to great lengths and expense to avoid flying US, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do...

Don't be too impressed with the tablets. They are Galaxy Tabs, generation 1. (I think they picked them up cheap at a yard sale somewhere.) Talk to ATT, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon. They will all tell you that the Galaxy, version 1 was a piece of junk. Also, AA contracted with Sleazy Ramon's Information Technology Shop and Used Car Lot to do the programming.
Though they are working better than when they first implemented them, there are still real programming problems with the Tabs. Computers are dumb animals. They know two numbers--zero and one. They do exactly what they are told to do. When you press A and you are supposed to get B, you should always get B. With our tabs you get B most of the time now, but sometimes you still get C or D or Q. That is sloppy programming.
Right back at you. And I hope if this merger happens your flying partners treat you guys as the Ugly Stepchildren, just like Deloitte Consultants are doing the Monitor Group associates that got folded in...
