NEWS: American Airlines and Unions Determined to Find a Way

So here's an article that offers up a stark counterpoint to the path chosen by AMFA vs Northwest. American Airlines and the unions that represent their mechanics had some brutal negotiation battles in the 90's before 9/11, each one leading to some pretty sweet pay structures for the mechanics. However, in today's brutal market the two sides apparently feel that cooperation is the road to survival for the airline as a whole. In a show of faith that management is out to save the airline and not screw the unions one mechanic said of his fellow workers, "They know if they want their job, they've got to be more efficient and help American make money". And that my friends is how business gets done.
