If this merger goes down in flames it would not bother me the least.
Earlier during the battle AA was having fending off USAir from a merger many were saying that USAir needs AA not the other way around. I still believe that. Many AAers I talk to at work in different groups show no concern either way. On the other hand a few pilots I spoke too or should I say asked me first are concerned and DO want to see this merger go through. I guess the AA pilots have more to lose than any other work group at AA. Or maybe we have more to gain if the merger fails. All opinions of course and the decisions made are way above our levels.

Waste of time.

Might have better luck posting that link in the US forum. I vote NO on a merge.

The government no longer runs by petition, it runs by cash.
And we dont have enough money even pooled to influence.

I will only vote for the petition if its guaranteed that Parker and his team won't be running the show.

Agreed..but TWU seems to disagree w/ you (imagine that).

I see many are still in the denial stage, the merger is over! Time for AA management to come up with a plan B.

Ok Judge, thanks for the ruling!

I say screw the TWU and their petition. Here they are again asking for our help. Guess they should have tried fighting harded for us instead of fooling TULE into a yes vote

 

[Crapdog]

Remember that our TWU pension will get rolled over into the IAM If this goes down. You do what a full pension don't you?

I will not sign the petition. AA does not need to merge. I hope the DOJ wins its case so we AA'ers can move on without further delay and infighting. Good luck to USAir in finding some other airline to clamp its claws on. From the beginning of this BK AA always insisted that we will stand alone all the way out of BK. So lets do it and see what happens. USAir needs to merge to survive. We at AA do not.
USAir or AA can go after Alaska, JetBlue, Spirit or any other domestic carrier when the time comes. This whole BK with AA was a scam from the beginning and the unions fell into the mix.

Bit far from the 100,000 they need (according to the website), don't you think?
