I think this is somewhat old news... I think they "have been" going to Eagle for some time now.will be going

the new news is that its just recently been settled, in favor of aa.
Not entirely true. Last year, AMR and APA collaborated to craft an illegal backroom deal in order to hijack the flowback agreement in their mutual favor, at the expense of the Eagle pilots, essentially grabbing all available RJ captain seats, instead of the limited number alloted to them by the contract. Eagle/ALPA grieved it, and won, but during the time frame while the grievance was being decided, AA was furloughing, and the pilots being furloughed during that time were in limbo, as far as their eligiblity to flow back to Eagle. It was decided that those May-August furloughs had rights to flow back.wingnutt said:my understanding is...
the old news was that a few had been going, but eagle filed an objection to the total number aa wanted.

That's the best, and shortest, explanation of the situation I've read yet. Maybe you should help the Communications Department at Eagle ALPA with their letters. The last one they sent out was entirely too complicated to follow.LAXSaabdude said:Not entirely true.

So we lost the last part of the battle, but we won the overall war, i.e., it was not the free-for-all seat grab that AA/APA wanted.

Well, thanks! I'll be on reserve in LAX next month (and probably the month after that, and the month after that....!) so I may have a little extra time. I may look into communications! Seems like that's the biggest complaint people have around here, so it may not be a bad idea.English said:That's the best, and shortest, explanation of the situation I've read yet.
