Hopeful said:With the new China route, do you think AA will see a major cost savings by dropping off a 777 in China, fly another back, drop off another and another?
It might be a consideration since a revenue flight will be heading that way anyway.

In case anyone has any illusions . . . . the Chinese are not our friends.

Former ModerAAtor said:Just how many B checks do we do in LHR, EZE, GIG, GRU, or in the Caribbean today? We have RON's in lots of those cities right now.
But I suppose its a good thing we won't have any RON's planned for the Pacific. Those aircraft will be turned to come back immediately, as they do today from NRT, and will from NGO and KIX when those start up later this year....

AA can based on APFA headcount and number of flying hours over the base amout set in 1990. Use European based foreign nationals. There is no provision for Nationals based outside of Europe or South America. Sorry will not be any Chinese based foreign nationals.Wretched Wrench said:Hmmmmmmmmmmmm..........I wonder about a FA base in China. Lots of low wage job applicants, I'll bet.

Same anwser they will get if they come for more cuts, NO. One we have members still on furlough, no outsidres until everylast one is back at work. Plus many f/a's now see the bigger loss the FN's created.aafsc said:Say for instance UA fails (which I don't think will happen) and AA gets their Pacific routes and the foreign gevernments tell AA in order to get approval, they have to take the Pacific based employees with the deal (just like the Latin American governments did in the EAL case and the British government did with the TWA-LHR case). What do you think that the APFA would do?
