MCI, According to SABRE there are 4 nAAtive aircraft in MCI right now (2 nAAtive MD-80s, one of which was a former Reno Air plane, and 2 767-200s) in addition to 2 former TWA MD-80s and 1 former TWA 757. If anything, it seems as though your getting the former TWA aircraft AND nAAtive aircraft. As far as the 5 year green nAAtive in TUL, that is his base, just as MCIe is your base. You really need to accept the Kasher decision because this is the way it is for all eternity. Except for MCI and STL, your TWA seniority died with TWA. It could be worse, you could have ended up like the TWA flight attendants (pure stpale) or you could have ended up like the mechanics at NW (laid half of them off and closing ATL maintanence base and closing almost all of their MSP maintenance base) or UA (laid off all heavy maintenance mechanics, closed IND, OAK, and rumors about closing SFO). So you should give up your dream of getting your TWA seniority back into order to stick it to the nAAtives. As I said earlier, I think that AA will lease enough hangar space at MCI to do heavy Maintanence on an amount of planes equal to former TWA aircraft. In 2007, the leases on the former TWA 757s expire and they will almost certainly be returned to the leasing companies. Also, the former TWA MD-80s' leases will expire over time and AA can return them to the lessors. Also, over the next couple of years, some of the former TWA mechanics will retire because they are close to retirement age. In closing, I think you should be very grateful for what you do have because AA could have very easily closed MCI completely and used the low ticket prices and the high cost fuel as their perfect reason.
