I’m a retired AA employee.
The pilot’s union is the only hold out in the bankruptcy proceedings. All the other union and non-union groups have signed off on the agreement.
I hate to say it, but unless the other groups put more pressure on the pilots you will see AA go the way of EA because of the militant mechanics union back in the early 80’s. This is an isolated case, but that is all it takes to make the news.
Actually the late 80’s was the demise of Eastern Airlines.
I’m guessing former Governor Sarah Palin will be all over this tomorrow.
