    Job offer at AA

    Seriously? Ask any employee at American except the people on the board and they will let you know how far to run. We only stay here for lack of time to find something else. If some company like Southwest offered every employee at American a job, the place would be empty. Take time and make sure...

    Early out for M & R Sept. 4-Sept 25

    Uh, I guess we will never agree on this. I don't know of anyone who made the decision to leave voluntarily or unvoluntarily wish they would have stayed with AA. Those of us who followed this dead horse are now paying the price.There is life after AA. Really, it is not that good of a job. We are...

    Top Out for AS mechanics

    Okay, saw what the starting pay was for at Alaska. Does anyone know the top out rate and how long to get there. Thanks!

    I don't know about everyone but I do know the majority of the mechanics that left the company when they were laid off are doing better than the ones who stayed until what is now the end. Yes, as the saying goes, there is life after American Airlines. Fed-Ex was hiring, Southwest was hiring, BNSF...

    Early out for M & R Sept. 4-Sept 25

    As I said before, nothing but good things to say about AA mechs. If your house burnt down, you decided to rebuild it yourself, but someone came along and said they will build it for you, provided promises after promises, etc. You take the offer. The builder after eleven years now decides to burn...

    TAESL red circled?

    Believe me, 99 percent of the employees in TAESL right now would love that opportunity. They would gladly leave this fine airline and the leadership, in a second. I hope Rolls Royce is considering this..

    Early out for M & R Sept. 4-Sept 25

    Not going down the path you want. But, please tell me how many mechanics, AA or ex-TW are leaving currently in the same situation. You say it is not the same? Okay, believe that if you want. AA is in bankruptcy, being possibly merged with another carrier and so forth. Mechanics do not just...

    Early out for M & R Sept. 4-Sept 25

    I would say 99 percent of the AA mechanics are fantastic to work with so I can agree with what happened. No argument there and not going to start the same thread that has been a million times. But, I can also say American taking over the TWA mechanics sure wasn't a joy for them. I know many of...

    FAA proposes $162million fine for AA

    How about the SW jet caught with UNAUTHORIZED parts installed. Didn't hear of a fine on that one either.

    the sky is falling everywhere!

    As a former member of the IAM and union represented by Ms. Levine, I would do exactly the opposite of what she said. I honestly believe my local attorney could have done better after seeing all the crap that has happened with her as the lead attorney. Seriously, could we have done any worse. Are...

    day one of two day negotiations anybody have a clue whats going on?

    Makes me want to throw up! If this happens, why do we even have a Union. Isn't this basically the same thing as non-union, stabbing others in the back for personal gain. Recently, Bell Helicopter and Lockheed went on strike and they did so for all members. At Bell, they even turned down an offer...

    Q&A from the APA

    Seriously??? I don't have the time to read the whole article right now but the union who basically was the one holding out, leaving during lunch during negotiations, ice machines, etc. and basically threw us all into bankruptcy is now the first ones to cave into these ridiculous negotiations...
