[12.5 wont change those old pig farmers, most of them are already retired, they will stay in the shops which is a retirement club, if they had to work the wing mods or the maui mods they would be gone, to much work for them, the shops in MCI are at AMT wages not OSM. So if I see 10 early outs that will be a lot..................
Not sure why they would take it considering they don't get the $12.5k, only the 13 weeks of pay.
BTW per jetnet...

<_< ---- AMFAMAN, It was brought to their attention that our local perceived the 12.5K, as originally offered, as being highly discriminatory! And it seems they (AA) may have had a change of heart and are now offering the 12.5 to us also. ------"American has entered an agreement with the TWU that includes a VBR program that will be offered to employees at certain locations. Please keep in mind that the VBRs will be granted based on location, criticality, skill set, and seniority, in accordance with workload plan, regardless of protection status." Signed by: Cleveland, Martinez, and Martins. Dated July 23,2008.-------- I know that statement has more loop holes than a peace of swiss cheese, so we'll have to wait for clarification.
That is fact as of today, recieved the memo. Basically anyone 50 and over with 15 years is eligible
Also heard they were going to let you cash out your sick time at full pay?? Anyone else hear if that's true or not.

I wonder if this is AA's last ditch effort to afford the ex -Twa guys and gals an out with a few and I mean a few nickels in their pocket? My understanding is if they close the doors to MCI there is no system protection therefore no 12,500 to relocate. Either way it is a shame the way corporate america treats people who have given the best years of their life working only to be ushered out in this manner. Whatever unfolds go out with dignity.

41 years of perfect attendance? Sounds like an extremely troubled individual.
Probably keeps a neat and orderly workbench also. (grin)
