Not at all. I don't like beer. Just trying to throw in a little humor.... I still love this job....and the company. I've been out there working in all sorts of fields and this is still, by far, the best job I've ever had. I'm sure you agree that you have to find the humor in things every...

My suggestion is: Hold all future negotiations on a S80, out on the tarmac, with no APU. State that the meeting will start at 8:00 AM, but please be there 1 hr ahead of time (without pay) to "get ready". The meeting finally starts at 11:00 AM (sorry...you didn't get paid for those 3 hrs...

Airlines could see more benefits from falling oil demand By Christopher Hinton Last update: 3:07 p.m. EDT March 12, 2009 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Falling oil prices have drastically reduced costs for airlines and have helped offset the loss of revenue from falling traffic demand, but the...

On my last trip, (Jan 21-23), I was #1. When I checked the loads before my seq began I was "supposed to be" light in FC for all 8 legs. However, I was full for all 8 legs except one. While that may sound great for AA, the additional passengers sitting in FC as opposed to what I had pulled up...

.....and no matter how bad it gets....heaven forbid we or anyone else dare mess with/change/restructure THEIR contract!!!! :shock:

Agree, but I've always thought that putting anyone to the test for a specified length of time would accomplish nothing. I think they should be told that they would be doing this job (any job in question) indefinitely. When one knows they only have a week or a month...they can do just about...

Yes..the orginal date for beginning this service was Oct 30. Due to Katrinaand the damage the airport incurred it has been rescheduled for the date you mentioned. This link will show you just how badly the airport was damanged. http://www.flygpt.com/aboutgbia/picpageGPT/pic1.htm

I understand that AE will start service to Mobile, June 10. Two flights per day as of now. 44 seat RJ's. DFW to MOB flights 3821/3425 - MOB to DFW, flights 3424/3820.

Sorry, I can't copy the letter from flight service, however, the good news is.... 233 of the most senior flight attendants presently on furlough status are being recalled for July 1st. All 233 to be based at LGA.

Surely, management did not just wake up on the morning of 7/2/03 and say "You know? I think we may need to close the STL hub". So why in the world did they go to the expense of 1."Train" 920 FA''s 2. Make them lose their AA qualifications 3. Pay up to $12,500 to each one for moving...

Thank you, TWAnr. Yes, I can see that now. Not sure why I thought it was him/her. As you can see I''m new to this site and will catch on eventually to how it works. As for my post..........the reply is to "BUZZKILL" Mayes

MK No I do not think that AA planned to cx the last two flights on purpose just to make it more difficult for the STL forced transferred FA's or any employee. I'm not that dumb or paranoid. I don't think Planning has commuting FA's or other employees in mind at all when deciding which...
