LET'S TAKE CARE OF THE PILOTS!

It wasn't a lap dance, the striipper had a flat and Bob was changing her tire for her when she swiped it. By the way it was pouring rain

And the genius was absolutely sure that she liked him.

stiff em till 2020.

What you are too dense to understand is that other employee groups' gains are not coming at your expense. On the contrary. With the company set to make billions in the coming years, according to Parker, every group including yours should be demanding and getting parity with Delta/United. Pay rates/vacation/sick/medical, etc. We are all rooting for the other employees to get what they deserve.

Anything you don't get will not be coming to us, btw. It will go toward stock buybacks and management bonuses. So try keeping your eye on the prize and go for it.

No pilot expected Parker to give pilots a raise. The reason it was given? AA was no longer getting the pilot applicants they thought they could get. They were going to everybody else with a better compensation package. Some were resigning in indoc class, others a few years into employment.
The writing was on the wall, and as was said, 61% plus of the pilot group was set to retire by 2022. Had they waited until then, the fleet would be half parked, and you would be out of a job possibly.
If the mechanics and or any other group has that kind of leverage, you are going to see raises as well, and you should.

I believe this is most likely the case.

Many a LUS Mechanic signed on and took their Airbus or Embraer training and immediately went to greener pastures. Jet Blue comes to mind. Free training from the company, pad the resume, and get a real job.

We voted away our leverage years ago. We'll see nothing. Good luck to the pilots. You deserve it.

You still have some leverage over the line operation. Nothing moves until the logbook is cleared, if you know what I'm saying. 😉
