American announces 13,000 job cuts

[2011GT]

Am I the only one that does not like seeing mechanics being the biggest chunk being cut?

It sucks. Aviation is not what it used to be anymore. All of our jobs our getting outsourced. It's sad.

I would have to say the same about Tulsa. My last day in hangar 5 was last week. Heading to fedex.

I think Jody means by definition. Why are you arguing with a finance guy?

Finance, schminance.

AFW is being shut down! This is a total shock. We bought the Delta hanger at DFW airport some years back and thought that that facility would go first!

Alliance--- shit, that is a lot of people to transfer. A lot of them will not make it. As for us pilots--rumor has it that 500 layoffs with work productivity concessions to follow!

WOW what a cheerful day(sarcasm)! I just want to see some of the god dam smug management that get the fucking big PUP payouts get what they deserve!

It is always the employees that share the financial burden of upper and middle managements screw ups!



I need a big bottle of scotch!

Well, American Airlines just announced it's proposal. This will be getting a no vote from me. What a kick in the dick. Well time to start looking for a new job. Sigh.

southwest is probably next. It's a sad time for aviation. I'm going to try and get on with a company that at least will pay for my tuition to go back to school. My last job had that and I was stupid not to take advantage of it.
