I love how you and this guy are doing this back and forth. This worldport would crawl over you to collect his concessionary contract or cross any picket line.
You are both pathetic and deserve each other.
AA management has you both trained well. You are /exactly/ what they want, and you put it on a public forum for them to flaunt in a negotiating session.
I remember well when Eastern Airlines used things like what you posted here: like making $100,000+ as a baggage handler. You will generate a great deal of sympathy from people when posting that on a forum. The vast majority of the working public would take what you posted and say that you are way overpaid and that AA should cut your pay and lower ticket prices. They would also say "give me that job for half the pay and I will do it tomorrow".
You are too stupid to realize what you are doing to yourselves.
As xUT would say, you suck!
