The fact that the iam side did not picket with the twu . The iam was quiet about it. The fact guys are wanting to get back to dfw on the mechanic side but instead of utilizing the transfer list aa hires on the lus side. Now that’s not the us workers fault. But the lus management team that was brought over. I do not blame lus for the bk contract. I blame the twu and twu kook-aid drinkers who voted yes for it. The laa pilots voted there’s down and got a better deal. But all we herd from the twu was if you don’t pass it the judge will decide. In mhuo the iam is no better. But the one thing I have a problem with with lus folks is that they do not care about the contract that the twu is in. I would love to have your lower insurance premiums but not the iampf I’ll stick to the 401 k I do not want want the iam to control my money are tell me if I go back in aviation after retirement I want get my money. Plus I’m 54 years old 33 years at aa I would not have a long time to contribute to it. But instead you have iam lus emp especially the one in ord saying you laa foljs need to trust Parker. I never had any trust in Parker. No offense but before the merger yalls contract was way pass due date. And no dates to negotiate. Put Parker was negotiation with the laa unions to get a merger. So no I did not trust him to do anything for mechanics are fleet. Plus Parker to me is nothing but a used car salesmen who tells you what you want to here but not deliver. After bob Crandall left aa management was the worst. But we knew what we had,Crandall left the company In the best financial shape ever. But Carty went thru that in a heart beat.. but now I see Parker doing the same with stock buy backs and not paying down the debt. But Parker made promises he needs to keep now . And give us a industry leading contract. I blame us management more then the lus employees but I blame y’all for not fighting for us. Most aa people want the better insurance.
Why should we give up anything the company’s making money and Parker says they will never loose money again let’s hold him up to it.
Or some in our group when you kept your scope language, are not getting in their minds what full retro is. Want to vote it down, that is their right and conviction. However if it takes 7 or 8 years to produce another deal, will be screaming evil company when they voted it down.
I hope for you guys sake that Parker is not another Carl Icahn, we all know what happened to TWA.
That's was if he ruins the company hope he does not. I think Carthy was the best CEO , you had. Bad management decisions is not the workers fault.
