Mr. Carty has to go.

Mr. Carty, you lied. You took our pensions, and you stealthily funded & protected your own from a bankruptcy judge. You as well as our other members of management should be ashamed. Step down now!

In announcing the turnabout, the company's chief executive, Don Carty, was contrite about the stir.

"Those executives who have made the personal commitment to remain with American during this financial crisis, myself included, are not here solely for monetary reasons and we have all agreed to give up these retention payments, in order to give our employees confidence in management's on-going commitment to shared sacrifice," he said. However, the company said it would keep the pension agreements in place; that could still prove to be an issue with the labor unions.

They're asking all the workers to take cuts, but they've still got "golden parachutes"? Whoopsie, that is bad!

I read something about this about 2 days ago. Noticed that the pilots, ground crew and flight attendants unions took a substantial pay cut but management didn't take nearly a cut. Could see problems with this arrangement.

How did ENRON miss these clowns?

I heard about the sweet deal yesterday and said this ain't gonna fly. If those pensions aren't funded they have to go also unless the unions pensions are funded and safe. If they are not funded, we the tax payers will pick up the tab I'm afraid...

We tried to tell them on Thursday when they were ripping us to shreads.
