American Pilots Hate New Uniform

We are all equally embarrassed by KDA.


I'd like to get a bunch of those and slap them on bar windows and ski lifts all around the U.S. because they are just. so. stupid.

Yeah, that was just kind of… ehh,.. weird.

If someone handed me a "KAA" — "Kick Americans Ass" sticker, I'd probably tell him they'd probably be better off coaching a junior varsity football team in rural Georgia.

Exactly. One guy from Isis can change that. I'll take the guarantee. I think it's funny to see the DL guys get their feathers ruffled because they make less by the hour.

Derg's pretty much covered it, but I haven't seen one pilot here bitch about the payrates. I have seen them look at the AA work rules and shake their heads. Comparing a pay rate that was just negotiated with one that was negotiated 3-4 years ago is just plain silly.

The question is, are you guys gonna get all ruffled up when we pass your rates later this year?

This discussion is hilarious.....seriously though. Im envious of BOTH companies pay rates!

Yeah, I'm done talking about it. Both can make a lot of gains. Derg is correct that it's tough compairing different places. I think a crux of the problem at AA is that we are dealing with Parker vs Anderson. It's a lot easier to make gains when a CEO sees employees Andersons way. Delta has our ass kicked there. Period.

Depends. Is the economy the same today as it was three years ago?

Or the airline industry for that matter. I hope delta opens up the pocket books big time for you guys and united follows. Then in 2019 when we finally negotiate again we can make serious gains.

The only ruffled feathers here are that people actually voted for this turd.

I was in the CLT CP office and saw one on one of the office doors. I chuckled a bit to myself. KDA.. yeah, right.

I'll be in CLT for AB OE tmrw ill check it out. I'm curious as ive never seen or heard of this sticker until this thread.

The only competition I'm participating in is AA versus compass.

I wonder if the KDA stickers were management driven. I've never seen a line pilot even mention it.

Probably.

Maybe Parker is still strangely upset about the thwarted takeover bid. I don't know.

I agree. Pretty sad. The new AA is a LCC with legacy cost structure. Not a good combo.

Which makes me wonder about the legacy US bases. JFK, DFW, MIA, DCA and LAX will be fine. But what about PHL, ORD and especially CLT and PHX?
