One more thing to Andy S. With regard to my work at AA, are you referring to my trying to explain to thousands of stranded passengers why APA was engaging in an illegal job action? Or maybe you want to criticize my very frequent defense of employees when they were accused of causing accidents(i.e., Little Rock), not following DOT procedures (i.e., hazardous cargo),and racially harassing co-workers in the hangar, among other incidents.
Gimme a break. You don't know anything about me, let alone my character or integrity. I'm on here providiing the company's point of view and trying to answer questions and you resort to personal attacks. Seems to me someone else has the integrity problem.
For US employees, I came to this company in May because of the professional challenge and the strong desire to be a part of the team that turned this company around. We may not always agree, but I'm always ready for a healthy debate. Ultimately, I believe we all want to see the company succeed.

Well, let's see if it works this time. Last time my post didn't seem to go through....
Mr. Chiames,
During your employment at AA, I have personally witnessed on many occasions in which YOU gave blantly false and misleading information to the public as mouthpiece for American Airlines. Of course, I realize that is somewhat part of the job description for someone in public relations at AA.
Now that you are being called to account for past misstatements, you start playing the victim. You know, I don't think it really matter what you did at AA, because I get the sense from other postings that you've been doing the same thing at your new job.
Bottom line. The employees can eventually tell when they're dealing with a straight-shooter. When you develop a history of prevarication, you create a credibility problem.
The sad part is that everything you said in response to Mr. Root may be absolutely true. But like the boy who cries "wolf" once too often, don't be surprised if you are not believed.
Andy S.
p.s. Oh, BTW did you happen to mention to the public that immediate cause of the Reno sickout was because the American Airlines tried to commit one of the most flagrant Scope violations in their history with their purchase of Reno? Did you happen to mention that despite the messy aftermath, that American Airlines finally conceeded the Scope issue to APA? Did you mention that if AA had followed the contract FROM THE BEGINNING instead of stalling for several months, then the sickout would not have happened? Didn't think so....
