I was under the impression that it was going to be straight 'date of hire'....is that not correct? When Pan Am people came to United, that was how they did it too. Slotted right inaafsc said:How did you feel about the US flight attendants receiving their seniority in the proposed UA/US merger?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*Proud*AAf/a* said:I for one who came to AA off the street, am relieved its over. I don't wish anything bad on anyone. I just could not understand why the TWA f/a's thought they should have any Seniority. AA company transfers never receive what TWA f/a's got (Pay credit at top scale). Justice prevailed, for a change!!! Yes!!! Now if we could exclude TWA f/a's from the recall rights, then we can keep the bad blood from poisoning the system!!! Oh and if anyone wants to answer this one. If you left TWA (when the writing on the wall was clear) and went to AA and started from the bottom again. Should they have had their Seniority bridged too? Oh well... Another day another dollar...
Oh and if your wondering why I'm being so harsh. It's all those bitter f/a's from TWA that disgraced AA when they were still flying. Two examples: Loosy service, with attitude, I received as a full revenue customer from HNL-STL in 2002. Also for the f/a's that kept pestering me in MIA, with their sarcasm, and stressful commute issues. We all have our share of challenges, some more than others. That's life...

PROUD,
Your "HANDLE" reminds me of my observations doing volunteer work for your airline and mine.
It has been about a year and a half since TWA F/A's flew their last flight. I was there on that day, as had been my custom for many recent years.
Something was very noticeable, which I would like to share with you. It is true, that was probably one of the most unhappy days in the lives of approximately 4,000 of our F/A's. There were many tears, as one would expect. There were pictures taken in spite of "suggestions" not to show emotion on that day. But there was something else which transcended that unhappy moment. There was a showing of pride which was almost unbelievable.
This was a group of employees loosing the jobs, financial security and everything else which YOU and your union decided belonged to you, because MR. Carty turned a blind eye to YOUR selfishness.
Well, PROUD, there is one thing neither you, or any one else, could or will ever take away from our F/A's. That is their PRIDE. Every one of them had more pride for their previous employer in their little finger than a few of the TWA haters on this board have in their entire bodies for their own airline.
No, PROUD, should the TWA F/A's ever return, they will not "poison" your system.
They would only make AA a BETTER airline.

That was the AFA standard with combining AFA represented carriers. Is there a provision to a combo with a non AFA carrier. Is it the same or handled on a case by case basis?Fly said:I was under the impression that it was going to be straight 'date of hire'....is that not correct?

As I often have posted - be careful what you wish for. AA's time is yet to come- but it will.

Fly said:Be careful what you wish for Proud......AA now has their scabs should you EVER complain about a crappy contract. The TWA f/a's should have received integration....especially after it was promised from the beginning. People in glass houses, yada yada yada. Hope this doesn't come back to bite you when the LCC's take over your airline and you get stapled.

What slap in the face and what insult to our character are you talking about? We don't consider apfa a union, a nazi regime YES!, a union NO! :angry:s80dude said:What a slap in the face to say that about TWA flight attendants. Some were out on strike for years after being replaced in 86. To imply they would scab now is an insult to their character.
I hope you were trying to offer a compliment and simply got your words confused.
