Who wants a merger with AA?

[EastUS1]

Read the times and numbers of her posts. There is absolutely no way anyone could possibly fly and post this much. Probably an intern hired by Gerry Glass to foment trouble, or a furloughed employee. Do the math. Look at her profile and figure it out yourself.

You overlook the other obvious option of an asylum inmate with internet access

The one thing I dont see, is how can Doug promise a pay raise and no layoffs to certain groups at AA when they are losing money and in chapter 11 and hasnt even finished a merger at his own airline.

It doesnt make business sense.

That's very well said sir. Despite all the east-west/west-east internecine insanity; I fully share your very reasonable concerns, with this being perhaps the most damning element: "How can he promise job security to one group of employees without compromising the job security of another? He can't." Being one who, in Parker's case, finds appropriate the old cliche of "How can you tell if he's lying? = His lips are moving", well...the very first thought I had on seeing the no furlough promise to American's tribe was that the US side might well be used for any "furlough fodder".

If there is one thing that unites US is the caution we all should share going into another merger. I'm to a point of letting the courts decide our dispute. Despite our conflict, we still have a job. I think putting AA into the mix is going to result in more misery, most likely for US.

We are in the final rounds of our cage fight. We may have a gorilla come in the ring to contend with and that's not going to be good for any of US.

Retired airline employees have historically kept flight benefits, I have a co-worker who was retired from Western Airlines long before Delta bought them and he is now just like any other Delta retire.

You seem to have had at least one experience of shopping at a used car lot.

I'm again in full agreement with your thoughts there.

Yes I am.

With which one: AA or US?

Won't the IAM make this happen?

You are truly a board stalker, why dont you add some relevant conversation instead of your stupid and lame attempts at attacks.

No wonder why you have a bad reputation.

Glad to hear that. With all the mergers and acquisitions I've been curious as to whether or not the retirees pass travel went to the new entity that he or she never worked for.

Or I can just reference one of your posts.

"And I am not AA, I have much more experience in this airline game than you seem to have, and have gained a lot of insight over my decades. I hope as many AA and US jobs can be saved as possible. Unlike a US pilot, I take no joy in another's misery or loss of job."

And you're not US.

So which side do you work for?

Ya, almost 4400+s - really bad. <_<

The only ones that think I have a "bad reputation" are the easties. Seems they hate it when facts are thrown at them.

Where'd he say he didn't work for US?

Did it ever occur to you that there are other workgroups at US besides the pilots?

Maybe you oughta take Dilligas' advice and read through his old posts; there's some pretty good stuff in there...
