No raise = NO VOTE!
If no work groups get a pay increase this time around...
We will send AA into BK! This way nobody gets their bone-us!
I doubt APA will agree to it. AA has yet to offer any pay increase to any of the work groups on property. AA did offer APA an increase in productivity from 77 to 81 hours. They said NO!
Cash talks and the AA bull**** walks!
APA could care less about anything but themselves. The antics they have been pulling, especially lately, does nothing to help anyone's position in negotiations with management. We have busted our butts to help generate more revenue for the company, yet they want to find every opportunity to knock it down. Do they have their heads in the clouds?I don't think they'll agree to it, either, and that's a mistake that may come back to haunt them.
I still can't believe APA's demands on codesharing. AA has said that would mean $3.5 billion in revenue would be lost. I can understand asking for better pay and benefits, and I even understand the work issues with SCOPE and why they want to end codesharing. What I don't get is how APA can be so completely out of touch with reality to suggest that AA reduce its revenue in any way. It would also screw some of the customer base from primarily codeshare markets (think intra-west coast and Alaska). The LAST thing AA needs right now is any hit to its revenue streams.
There are many pilots out there that are less than impressed with the shenanigans of the APA leadership. And although some of these pilots may not be overly thrilled with the SCOPE proposals, they also realize that AA has to stay competitive and within the realm of others in the industry.APA could care less about anything but themselves.
