Dear Pilots,

[Lloyd Grey]

I took three planes out of service a week ago. It was cool knowing the pilots got all the blame. It really had less to do with the pilots than the crappy condition of the MD-80 fleet thanks to so many items being taken out of the "A" checks.

TWA management?

Please stop all the shenanigans. You are hurting this airline and we are losing altitude fast. We all know that you are not fully satisfied with the contract at hand. The statistics of this airline over the past few weeks has been off the charts on the delays and cancellations, just because you want to 'show the company'. Guess what? There may not be a company if you keep this up. We all know your panties are in a wad, but please keep that to yourself. You are affecting a lot more people - fellow AA employees as well as all of the passengers our CUSTOMERS. Without customers, well.... we don't have an airline.
If the secured creditors get anxious and pull their investment in this airline, then chapter 7 liquidation is next, and I don't think any of us want that.

Sincerely,

A Proud AA Employee

People like you are the reason airline careers are where they are. You choose to go through life on your knees, gleefully accepting whatever crumbs your master tosses to you. Others choose to fight like a man standing up for what they believe in.

You have a problem with that. Boo effin' hoo.

Why don't you have one of your peers give you a borescope inspection and see if they can locate your nads.

A few more years of this and we will have them planes as good as when they came out of the factory!

a few more years and a good chunk of AA's fleet WILL HAVE come fresh out of the factory.

Lloyd,
suppose the reason for the M80's condition is because AA wants to keep their costs down in anticipation of parking huge chunks of them while labor isn't going to fly them in that condition for years to come?
Other fleets have the same level of issues?
