Miaami
This Thread has absolutely nothing to do with rampant RA's and short on reserves... Again, your ignorance is getting the best of you. Do me a favor? Go back to page 1 and reread the original post. Where in it does it state I am asking for any advice or complaining about the short EZE layover? I could care less. Remember I am the one on furlough here. My point of the post is merely the fact that those still on the line are complaining and whining about what their job has become. They seem to forget that they have a job. They want thier cake and to be able to eat it too. When I mentioned the EZE layover it was in reference to the fact that you line flight attendants do have a legitimate complaint concerning them. However as you and FAMikey so eloquently put it, these trips go very senior and those that fly them love the shortened layover. In other words, I must be making this up when a good friend of mine, also very senior at over 25 years, thinks they are horrible.
The point of this entire thread deals with an officer of the APFA using his title to complain to the company, and asking his fellow LAX based FA's to standup and fight the company on having shortened NYC layovers which consisit of between 10 and 13 hours. Somewhere along the way, you tried to turn this thread into my personal situation about trying to get recalled from furlough. Yes, I would like the recall but my point is that the focus should shift from personal biases and prejudices to working together as a collective group, and fighting for what are blantent illegalities, and violations of the contract. The APFA Officers should not be concerned with whether an individual gets 14 hours in New York or 10 hours there. Instead, they should be focused on working with the company to bring it back to financial stability. When was the last time you have heard anything from your beloved APFA President? The APFA is more focused on quality of layovers and petitioning congress about reduces rest. These are the very things that they bargained away when they signed off on the RPA.
If the company can save money by placing F/A's at airport locations for layovers, then why not do it? Look at those who fly for LCC's. They aren't staying across the street from Central Park on layovers. In the end, when the company reaches financial gains again they can continue to expand which in return allows for furlough recalls. However, if you look at the actions of the APFA and certain line holders ( Not all of them ), there is a complete disregard for furloughees ( Not just TWA) and there well being. If this were not the case, then the actions of the union would be focused again on the overall financial stability of AA. So Miaami, AAStew, FAMikey, and Bear96, If you can't understand the nature of this post then maybe it's because you don't want to. This is what the TWA'rs and other have been saying for quite awhile now but you individuals would rather bury your head in the sand and continue to allow it to happen. Thus, A divison remaindamoung the F/A's at American and they will never unite together until this focus shifts.
What Unity?

I want what he's having. Baby, you have NO idea what the "ramifications" even are.
