Tell AA Executives You Are Seeing Red

After members flooded AA Executive email inboxes for more than 10 days with one or more of the messages below, AA began blocking the emails at their server. Let’s continue to show management we will not back down until they recognize the sacrifices we have made to save our airline and give us the raises and contract we deserve.Mark the negotiations “news” they send you with the words “My Negotiating Team Speaks for Me!” (preferably in RED INK) and deliver it to your Flight Service Manager.   Got Guts We’ve “Got Guts.” I’m writing to show my support for the APFA Negotiating Team during our contract negotiations. It’s time for management to recognize the sacrifices we have made to save our airline, by giving us the raises and contract we deserve. You claim that the company can’t afford pay increases for Flight Attendants, yet you find money to invest in new amenities, new aircraft, renovations of admirals clubs, and even to reward yourself with enormous bonuses year after year. How can you ask us for more concessions? This is completely unacceptable. We are the face of American Airlines, and it’s time for you to invest in your most valuable asset! We have the unity and guts to do whatever it takes. It’s OUR TURN now Enough is enough. Flight Attendants have made concessions for seven long years. We have nothing left to give. We deserve a contract that recognizes the sacrifices we made in 2003. It’s OUR TURN to get back what we were promised; American Airlines can afford it. It’s time to reinvest in your hard-working employees. It’s time to be a respectable employer. It’s time to give Flight Attendants a contract. It’s OUR TURN now! Seeing Red Flight Attendants are seeing red. When we agreed to the Restructuring Participation Agreement seven years ago, we were promised “Shared Sacrifice, Shared Gain.” You have broken that promise. You take bonuses each year, while we continue to make sacrifices. Now you are asking for more concessions. No way, no how! It’s time for you to put some real money on the table. If not, make no mistake, we are willing, able, and ready to do what is necessary to get the contract we deserve.
