Thanks for telling it like it is in the real world. I often think AA is like 5 different companies that have no effective communications with each other. And they all like to play the "let's pretend" game, as in, "let's pretend that we can send 3 times as much baggage, freight, and mail as will fit on an A/C, and that it will fit! How is that an efficient operation?

Trust me "bagstacker", they *UCKING KNOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
AA and THIER union(tw u.seless) KNOW, that stations like BOS/JFK/LGA/EWR/are "RADICAL" stations(their words).
They ALSO KNOW that ORD, and ESPECIALLY DFW are less Radical.(You would THINK that ORD would be in the first group, but they're not)(I'm speaking from personal experience, because I worked in EWR/ORD/BOS + BDL).
With BOS/JFK/LGA/EWR, ...LGA is a bit less Radical.
SO with BOS/JFK/EWR, ...AA will RELUCTANTLY add more manning/overtime, to get the job done !
In the End, the bottom line is that the "believing stations" allow the "project" to make them(AA) money.
I'M NOT AGAINST AA MAKING MONEY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a good friend at BOS A/F who gets (early call) 4 hours overtime EVERY DAY, INCLUDING the 2 DAYS OFF, that's worked via CS work !
Do the math.....7x"4" = 28 hrs o/t.."AUTOMATIC"
Being TOTALLY respectful, I realize that FSC's in places like OMA, or MCI, LIT, BNA (just to name a few) find statements like this/mine..UNFATHOMABLE, but when they(rarely) xfer into these stations, they find it to be true(To their ABSOLUTE AMAZEMENT).
AA/TWU are MASTER MANIPULATERS at "Divide + Conquor"
NH/BB's
ps,
Our good friend, AND MINE.....Former ModerAAtor, who recently left AA, will(If he's TOTALLY honest)(And I find him to be an Honorable man)!!, will VERIFY this.
