SO WILL WE BE MAINLINE OR EAGLE?

[john john]

I think even some cities that AA has outsourced have US Mainline employees like PBI for example, AA runs big jets there but it's all outsource but US is mainline up and down so one would think that would prevail and a transfer list will open. I think there are a few other stations too if it's not mainline up and down it is on the CS side so AA mainline employees might get to get back to cities they got laid off from. IND, CMH, BUF, RSW, PNS, ELP, COS. If you look at the list US has over 80 mainline station managers AA only has about 45 or so.

A lot depends on if the combine airline passenger service agent’s voting for a union or not. Like I said the language in the passenger service collective bargaining agreement

The Company may operate up to two (2) daily mainline jet departures in Express stations.
The Company may add mainline flying into Express stations on a seasonal basis not to exceed a single four (4) month period of continuous flying in a calendar year.


Any thing else’s mainline employees

All you mainline employees you better wake up

Are there any short term or long term changes expected for American Eagle stations that provide above or below wing services, especially at locations that currently have US Airways mainline employees?
Until the merger closes, nothing will change at American Eagle for both its flying and ground handling services.
In the long-term, the merger transition team will be developing unified strategies that will include airport ground handling. The transition team will look at each location to determine what the best fit is for the new American. Costs are expected to be an important consideration in the development of this strategy.
Given the progress Eagle has made over the past year to make its costs competitive and its success in growing its ground handling business we are well-positioned for this strategy development.
It will be some time before we understand the impact of the proposed merger, if any, on American Eagle.
As three wholly owned regional carriers of American Airlines, will the three regional carriers work together on synergies that may help increase both operational (ground handling/MTX) and financial performance (redundancy/larger purchasing power, etc.)?
Yes, the transition team will be developing strategies to enhance the overall synergies created by the merger. However, the wholly owned regional carriers for both airlines are expected to continue operating as distinct entities.

I look for the company to keeping the wholly owns separate (Eagle & Piedmont), for the purpose of bidding against one another for ramp work. The lowest bidder gets the largest percentage? I look for the new company to use the treat of Eagle against any customer service union voted in post merger.

Like I said in another thread, for the good of our nations economy, ramp & customer service type positions throughout the nation need to be brought back to a middle-class standard wage. $9 an hour for life does nothing for recreating the lost middle class in America. This needs to happen in a lot of sectors, retail, branch banking (tellers), etc. When all the money stop with the guys at the top, those guys shelter it and the government loses tax revenue. When the money makes its way down to the workers, the ones that do the heavy lifting, they pay taxes and most importantly spend 90% of it on their families immediately. Which stimulates the economy, every sector of the economy.

There's room to move in civil aviation. Since deregulation based on the cost of living statistics, airline tickets are 200% cheaper today than they were in 1978. Everything else, energy, food, housing has risen 400%. I paid .59 cents a gallon for regular unleaded gas back in July 1978 to get to work! Yesterday I paid $3.75 per gal.

If something doesn't give real soon this nation is going to crash?

Translated from Business-speak into English..."Whichever work group is willing to work for minimum wage, or close to it, gets the work."

No middle class ='s not enough passengers to fly on our planes?
