411A,
Another clueless and somewhat addled post from someone who acts if he some knowledge of the dilemma.
Facts: Last contract (1997) gave something like 7% raises over 9 years. figure the CPI over the same period.
Since 1983, in constant dollars, AA pilot salaries were down 22% even before the latest cuts.
As stated elsewhere in these forums, AA unions could never match the cash burning that management has done.
411A, you never got hired at a US major, go kick your dog and stop babbling about subjects you know nothing about.
P.S. Please elaborate on your extensive experience cruising at FL450
