not to mention that AA will now have a fleet of over 850 aircraft (yes, 8-5-0), and approximately 14500 pilots, ALL of which they seem to be able to pay industry leading PAY, BENEFITS, ROSTERING, MEDICAL, PENSIONS....!!! Funny, with a per aircraft profit of less than 1/3 of CX's, they can pay and treat almost 15000 pilots properly. At what point do we insist upon, and then take action to attain, the same level of respect, pay and benefits....? I would suggest that the time is now. Thoughts and comments please.....
