We are actually doing something and not just the pilots and flight attendants..Amazing !http://aviationblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2011/02/twu-plans-demonstrations-to-co.html
Thank god we have COPE! Money well spent......TWU!With the Superbowl in Dallas this is a perfect opportunity to let the travelling public know that all is not well with AA. When the inevitable happens and we shut the place down no one can say that their Holidays were ruined, or they couldnt get to their Grandmothers funeral because of the workers. If you know there is trouble brewing then you find an alternate way to get where you want to go. For three years the company has stalled negotiations. As work groups asked to be released the company pleaded with the NMB to not release the workers, and the NMB has complied. The NMB bullied the Fleet guys to accept an inferior TA and their Presidents rightfully decided not to bring it back. The NMB and the company have refused to meet with the Union since. In any other country in the Free World these workers would have been permitted to strike but in our facist state the government can dictate whether or not workers can withhold their labor.

I may be wrong, but aren't the typical Superbowl attendees more representative of the privileged class than the working class? Yes, working stiffs like me watch NFL games on TV, but I'm not a high-roller spending thousands of dollars to fly to DFW to attend the Superbowl. Will the demonstration on Monday morning reach the intended audience or will the executives and business owners (the typical big-spender at the Superbowl) ignore the workers? I just don't think the crowd at DFW on Monday morning is gonna be all that sympathetic to the cause. Might as well picket outside the big country clubs - probably reach the same audience.
Dissagree,I think that the flying public needs to be made aware that we are working at reduced pay,
and havent had a raise in 8 years! while management recieves bonuses every year.
Also let them know Mr. Staubach is on AMRs BOD
