AA and Envoy are one and the same. It's not a joke. American Airlines Group wholly owns both companies.

That’s like saying me and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar are the same because I’m black, meanwhile I can barely jump over a curb.

In your defense, Kareem wasn't a huge jumper.

How do you know that? They might! We’ve never tried an economy without labor unions and labor, consumer, and environmental protection laws! I’m sure it would be fine!

I mean, he’s probably standing on his tippy toes in that shot.

Sounds like some woke socialist crap

Anything even a corporatist Democrat (and there are a LOT of those and they're all pretty gross) does or wants to do is going to be called socialism anyway, partially owing to the successful conservative dismantling of public education over the last two decades which means people can't even spell "socialism" much less know what it means, so we might as well just get on with the governing anyway and hope for the best.

It just frustrates me that there are so many libertarian •lords who act like we didn’t run the unfettered capitalist hellhole experiment already and decided we hated it. And even more that so many of said •lords are fellow wage slaves.

Lots of people out there think they’re special, juiced in or just smarter than the average bear. They cut their own deals and WILL toss everyone else under the bus claiming some pseudo-righteous reason(s).

There’s a somewhat larger subset who claim such high ground and have a limited number of friends/peers/“supporters” that make “we’re the silent majority” noises, but they’re just the same people grouped together in a brief alliance. Those groups unspool rapidly after whatever transient condition has passed, and they go right back to looking out for themselves.

In either case, they’re bad news and are to be avoided when possible.

So would it be wrong of me to be pissed if I suddenly become junior to an envoy pilot that was hired a year before me?

If you’re a pilot you can be pissed about anything and everything.

Not well

 

[Screaming_Emu]

Almost 3X that for me. But totally worth it for the benefits.

Paid $4347.07

No ragurts

No not well
Not ocean either

DALs contract was $7 billion ish, AAL $9 billion ish, and UAL $10 billion ish.

Odd thing to bring up. The difference in the cost of each airline's new contract has many factors and I doubt pattern bargaining was the primary cause in this round.

This argument just got ten times more powerful.

Now you can get a toaster with your Xbox.

The Xbox Series S toaster is real

The toaster joins the Xbox Series X mini fridge.
