Ahh..but you don't seem to have a problem when some of the TWAers wish for an Icahn style takeover of AA so the "nAAtives can suffer the same fate as the TWAers". Icahn, TWA management, the IAM and ALPA screwed you people, not the nAAtives. Most NAAtives feel (as 767jetz I believe stated on another board) that one group should not be able to repair their decimated careers on the backs of others; and the TWAers are bitter at the nAAtives because they were unable to do so; so some wish us a fate similar to their own.QUOTE(aafsc @ Jul 24 2007, 10:29 AM)
All former TWA people rightfully belong at the bottom of the seniority lists. If anything "bad" happens at AA, the TWAers will be the first to go.
Quoted in the spirit of being human - not!

<_< ---- The only thing my posting proves Straaightaalk is that you, and your grouping, are the most paranoiac! I wish you'all no ill well, I pity you!!!
StrAAight -
I have learned to be very careful with sweeping generalizations. I know for a fact that there are 2100 (+) furloughed APFA represented flight attendants pulling for AA to be wildly successful; our long and storied careers hinge on that outcome.
It is my opinion that most conclusions drawn from reading this board are rarely supported by reality. I want to thank you for your outspoken support for the recall of furloughed AA flight attendants and ask that you reconsider withdrawing that support.
Today marks the first day that a recalled, former TWA flight attendant will/can work a flight as a fully integrated AA crew member. I hope you have a chance to meet these individuals. I am confident you will come away with the more accurate perception that they (we) are just people who want the opportunity to restart a career we terribly miss. That a recall will provide much needed relief to the active AA flight attendants makes this a win-win proposition.
Here's to wishing prosperity on AA and all who work, and want to work, toward that goal.
In Solidarity,
Hunter
Exactly. Well said, aafsc.
They demand respect but give none themselves.
I have read more than enough posts on this board, written by TWAers, expressing hope that AA suffers exactly the fate you described in your post.
I can no longer have empathy for a group that wishes me ill.
And I could blindly form a negative view of all nAAtives by the opionions and ill will of a few. I and most people I know have through time chosen to rise above that. I dont see it so black and white anymore.
He does not reflect the opinions of all of us, as I hope that you do not reflect the opinions of all nAAtives.
<_< ---- Hey straaighttalk!---- I've put it behind me! Can you????
With costs in line, a strong market share, and 6.4 billion in cash. Private equity firms and others will be taking a good look at AA.
Just hope that this guy doesn't get to interested in AMR.
Very sad indeed...Oh well, I am not so hardend and closed that I can't say that I was wrong in past for judging all naatives by the ill will of a few.That's where your bias and lack of respect really does show.
I was one of the few that all along, even when my flying partners looked at me like I was crazy, argued that AA should be recalling, and told my coworkers that we should have empathy. As a line flight attendant, that was not an easy position to take. I was happy to see APFA come out with Skyword Express a few weeks ago, but now I am seriously rethinking my position.
By your continued disrespect, and the obvious assumption by TWAers that all nAAtives wanted them gone, you have lost a great ally.
Your fellow TWAers would not have gotten more support from anybody than from me.
Very sad.
I'd suggest that you keep two things in mind: one, a tiny percentage of the workforce is active on this or any other bulletin board, and two, forums and bulletin boards seem to attract a disproportionate number of negative people.I don't know anybody from TWA personally, so I have to go on the assumption that what I read here is representative of how they really feel.
<_< ----- No! It proves nothing! Only your paranoia!This proves my point. I bet you're secretly wishing that he does!
I have nothing to put behind me. I never had any animosity towards TWA people. I am basing my new perception on what I have read on these boards.
