Mike is right.
In one fell swoop, we''ve all given back everything every strike, every negotion and every drop of sweat that previous members worked, prayed for, and longed for.
Things which union negotiaters from the ALPA, TWU, IAM (on other carriers and which AA''s unions therefore got in their contracts), and all the flight attendant unions fought for in previous years.
From the first Union until 16 April 2003 it was mostly given back. Who needs unions anyway. Even non union Delta matched what the unions won.
Still sounds like management decisions put us here and not laborers sweat. We just do what we''re told. They are the one''s who come up with the business plans, the failed advertising and low fare thus low yield decisions.
