It looks to me that is the way it is going. Probably the only way for us to get in the black again someday. Everything has to change...(heavy sigh here).

I know this sounds sick and you being retired and everything but it is times like these I miss Uncle Bobby....
I could get started on Uncle Bobby stories but I don't want to get too sentimental...

Mainline LAYOFFS,( which have been a reality in this industry since "ADAM + EVE")
And
No pay cuts for the mainline people who remained working(SENIORITY) !!!!!
Sound selfish ???? "HEL* NO" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When a union is faced with a FINAL choice of protecting ALL THE JOBS, or SENIORITY, the answer is that SENIORITY can NEVER EVER be breeched, NEVER.
The correct terminology that the unions used in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and early 90's was "We will "TRY" to protect as many of our jobs "AS POSSIBLE".
Meaning that SENIORITY can NEVER be breeched, EVER!!!!!

AMEN AMEN AND AMEN!!!!
You have quoted so eloquently what I have tried to post here unsuccessfully lately!
Seniority is it!!! It and layoffs, furloughs, whatever you wan to call it have always been a part of our industry! I am so tired of the whining....I have survived 5, count them 5 airlines! I have been with AA now 14 years and am 43 years old! I have no seniority!
I am not being facetious when I say you brough tears to my eyes, I was feeling selfish lately because that is what I have always believed!
Thank you NHBB! XXX
