time to CLEAN house and vote ALL these idiots OUT! We need guys with BALLS across the table!
So what is happening with negotiations for M&R now? I read the response that the company provided to the TWU proposal back on March 11th. Is the TWU awaiting a counter proposal from the company? I have not seen any further information other than what is posted on the TWU/AA negotiations website, which basically says that the next mediated session is yet to be determined. Is there any other information out there that the membership is unaware of?
This information is what they expect will keep you as informed as you need to be. "The M&R Negotiating Committee appreciates your patience and support as we work toward an agreement." BTW, the flight attendants have not met since early Jan.

Alright break time. Here are some funnies to lighten things up a bit.
Definitions:
Pilots: People who drive airplanes.
Naval Aviators: Cold, steely eyed, weapons systems managers who kill bad people and break things. However, they can also be very charming and personable.
The average Naval Aviator, despite sometimes having a swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy and caring. These feelings just don’t involve anyone else.
Words of Wisdom From Aviators:
Flying is a hard way to earn an easy living.
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the airplane, the pessimist, the parachute.
If helicopters are so safe, how come there are no vintage helicopter fly-ins?
Death is just nature's way of telling you to watch your airspeed.
Real planes use only a single stick to fly. This is why bulldozers & helicopters -- in that order -- need two.
There are only three things the copilot should ever say:
1. Nice landing, Sir.
2. I'll buy the first round.
3. I'll take the fat one.
As a pilot only two bad things can happen to you and one of them will.
a. One day you will walk out to the aircraft knowing that it is your last flight.
b. One day you will walk out to the aircraft not knowing that it is your last flight.
There are Rules and there are Laws. The Rules are made by men who think that they know better how to fly your airplane than you. Laws (of Physics) were ordained by nature. You can, and sometimes should, suspend the Rules but you can never suspend the Laws.
About Rules:
a. The rules are a good place to hide if you don't have a better idea and the talent to execute it.
b. If you deviate from a rule, it must be a flawless performance..
( e.g .., If you fly under a bridge, don't hit the bridge.)
The ideal pilot is the perfect blend of discipline and aggressiveness.
The medical profession is the natural enemy of the aviation profession.
Ever notice that the only experts who decree that the age of the pilot is over are people who have never flown anything? Also, in spite of the intensity of their feelings that the pilot's day is over, I know of no expert who has volunteered to be a passenger in a non-piloted aircraft.
Before each flight, make sure that your bladder is empty and your fuel tanks are full!
He who demands everything that his aircraft can give him is a pilot; he that demands one iota more is a fool.
There are certain aircraft sounds that can only be heard at night.
The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.
Flying is a great way of life for men who want to feel like boys, but not for those who still are.
"If the Wright brothers were alive today, Wilbur would have to fire Orville to reduce costs." President, DELTA Airlines.
In the Alaskan bush I'd rather have a two hour bladder and three hours of gas than vice versa.
It's not that all airplane pilots are good-looking. Just that good-looking people seem more capable of flying airplanes.
An old pilot is one who can remember when flying was dangerous and sex was safe.
Airlines have really changed, now a flight attendant can get a pilot pregnant.
I've flown in both pilot seats, can someone tell me why the other one is always occupied by an idiot?
Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming a pilot. You can't do both.
There are only two types of aircraft -- fighters and targets.
The scientific theory I like best is that the rings of Saturn are composed entirely of lost airline baggage.
You define a good flight by negatives: you didn't get hijacked, you didn't crash, you didn't throw up, you weren't late, and you weren't nauseated by the food. So you're grateful.
They invented wheelbarrows to teach FAA inspectors to walk on their hind legs.
The FAA Motto: We're not happy till you're not happy .
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
.....and now back to our normal "discussion"

You forgot one other rule:
Airplanes can't fly until it's paperwork weighs as much as the airplane.

The way I understand it is Mark Burdettes daughter is getting married. During the March negotiations session they decided to have the next session in the middle of April. Burdette approached the mediator about the wedding and the mediator said that he would do what he could to schedule around the wedding. Apparently this was not acceptable to Burdette,so he left the room and called Jeff Brundage to let him know about the situation. Brundage decided to call the mediators boss in Washington to let him know that the mediator was not being cooperative about rescheduling neg around the daughters big day(which was a lie). The mediators boss called him and asked why he was not being cooperative with the company about rescheduling neg around Burdettes daughters wedding. The mediator stated that they had barely talked about it and that he informed Burdette that he would try and work around this problem. Now the mediator is supposed to be pissed at the company for throwing him under the bus to his boss. In actuality Burdette and Brundage were lying. I guess they are both on the hook for a hefty campaign donaton in the future. This gives a new meaning to the term AArrogance.
you got to be fricken kidding me. a wedding get real, since when are negotiations on the weekend
