In all fairness, it is worth noting that AA pilots work for less than 1993 hourly pay rates, following the 2003 agreement; they have seen their salaries cut the most among AMR Corp. employees and they, along with the rest of the company employees, made huge sacrifices and gave away lots of things (in the billions of $) early last decade to keep AA solvent.
- Right, but the Pilot's beef isn't so much their actual salary as the fact that while they took a huge cut in 2003 to save the company, the senior management promptly paid themselves obscene bonuses and partied on. So it's not just the sacrifice per se, it's the massive injustice and inequality across the company that causes so much resentment.
/Don't work for AA either.
