DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM APFA PRESIDENT JOHN WARD
April 5, 2003
Dear APFA Flight Attendant:
There are no promises from the Company that American Airlines won’t
go into bankruptcy down the line, even if you vote to ratify this
proposal. However, if this proposal is not ratified, we have no doubt
that the Company will file for bankruptcy.
There’s no question that this proposal represents a severe change in
the nature of our jobs and how we’re compensated for those jobs.
There are mechanisms for recovering some of what we would give up over
the life of this contract – but only some. There would be a long road
ahead to get back to where we are today at the end of this proposed
agreement.
Sincerely,
John Ward
