I want to say I can't believe this, but I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. They ask the workers to cut pay as much as 33% all the while giving themselves bonuses. This is sick.

American Airlines said Friday that its top management had canceled the bonus plans.

I just read this earlier today about execs dropping some of their retention benefits to help keep the airline away from Chapter 11. So they're giving on one end and taking it back on the other?

God bless them workers.

Talk about courage.

Yeah, they did it when the flight attendants cancelled the new labor agreement. Had the flight attendants not found out about it, management wouldn't have changed anything.
