Whoshouldiuse,
During the last contract go around at AMR when Crandal was still in controll, the APA (That is the union that represents that American pilots) offered crandal the Southwest pilot's contract word for word, including the reduction in retirement and whatnot that it would entail.
Crandall said he couldn't afford it and we signed the current contract that we are operating instead.
Crandall is just trying to jawbone wages down further, without actually analyzing the wages.
Cheers
Wino
