Ex-TWA flight attendants threaten to work during American Airlines strike

A group of ex-Trans World Airlines flight attendants was warning Thursday its members would gladly work as replacements if American Airlines flight attendants walk off the job.

The St. Louis-based group, Coalition for Union Principles, told APFA president Laura Glading last August that the group's members would be willing to cross a picket line if the APFA walked off the job. That threat was repeated in a Thursday press release.

"If American Airlines calls, the majority of the former TWA attendants will respond," coalition spokesperson Nancy McGuire said. "They want to resume the careers that were stolen from them by a renegade union."

Consider this as a continuation of a dispute between the American flight attendants and the ex-TWA flight attendants, who joined American when American acquired TWA assets in 2001.

Funny thing is that all the TWA routes and jets are gone and so are the people. So they really never had any jobs to speak of...

Can't wait to hear Nancy's comment on this. Since she is the President of this deal. Nancy, you here?
 
Wow if that did did happen it would make me fly AA again--go for it. :up:
 
This would be the best thing that could happen to th F/A union at AA for the way they treated the TWA F/A's. I wish they could walk off tomorrow.

The main concern here for the AA f/as is this, If they decide to strike, how will they be able to hold a picket sign and text at the same time?
This is just turning out to be a blog of wishful thinking...... Chao
 
Coalition to Scab and break a Union.

Actually a management tactic to fear strong union members.

How funny!

you go TWB people..
what goes around comes around...

Its a full circle of life...

Good luck to all of you...
I am making light of the TWA people... because I feel that AA really put the screws to them.
But, now the whole situation is pretty bad, and I wish luck to all of you at AA..
Stand your ground, and do not give in... protect your profession..
and you deserve a fair pay for what you do...
Good luck...
