Re: AA reached Tentative Agreement with TWU-IAM

Re: Southwest Airlines Declares Maintenance Emergency
If WN pays techs more than the majors than management can play games for quite some time.. That was in the past with all the foot dragging they've fallen behind. It would be nice to settle and have to pay back pay to 2012.
