Sope yes ,but money really ? While we would all really like more money at this juncture its nowhere near important as scope ,we have after all just merged with AA and weve got a joint contract in our future .

 
Yes, money, really.  Since we no longer get cost-of-living increases we've been working under a compensation package that erodes in value by the day.  This is even more compounded by the increasing cost of consumer goods and other services people rely on.

I agree "33" we are about as functional as congress in terms of agreeing on anything!
 
I'll tell you what... I'll stand down on jabbing Nelson... unless of course, he posts something that is absolutely incorrect, and can be proven to be incorrect with hard documented facts.
As far the name calling and accusations-- I agree, it's all counterproductive. I'm willing discontinue the practice until the whole issue with this agreement has worked itself to conclusion. 
 
Just out out curiosity, what do think about a financial officer (Josh) for a major financial firm chiming in with irrelevant and totally false information? Doe's that fit the "not involved" criteria?

Josh is on Ignore for a different reason but yes , it all comes back to the same thing. He doesn't know day to day whats happening on the ramp.

NO No NO....... Money and scope you uninformed buffoon. Or we, at least out east, will vote for a strike. NO on any proposed contract. That is the what everyone out here on my side of the continent is saying. Of course, the IAM will set up voting booths in PHX airport so that you can conveniently vote in such a way to convenience the IAM and this airline. Just like last time.

If you want to do the math, be my guest, I am not.
 
Call Regan or Roach if you want to know.
 
I posted the language, you are quite capable of figuring it out.

You are correct. My apartment complex and local grocery store don't have a "cost neutral" policy.

Well tough....we still have it better than most of the rest of the country does ....you think most other workers out there are getting COA ? I used to think so but ive discovered differently ...

We need to be pragmatic in what we bargin for ....

I would caution anyone from thinking freedom represents anybody's opinion but his own.  He doesn't speak for the West, or whatever's left of it.

Don't worry Dreadlocks you can ride our coattails again.....I do respect your opinion i don't respect your 2nd class citizen line of thinking! That will keep us suppressed for yrs to come.
 
What is COA?.....Can't Offer Anything ?

Really?
 
I dont care about the scores, the system is a bit biased.
 
If Tim wants to know or you, do the math, funny you complain that I post here, and then you want something and complain when I dont post.

But deep down out there in wider América there's an undercurrent of rage waiting to be exploited ..
American Airlines is guilty of helping to bring down our nations Standards for living ,AA is also now the largest airline in the country if not World ,did you know that Americans dont like monoplies ? These days they arent too keen on Corporations either.

So which is it, should we fight for a better standard of living or shouldn't we?
