ahh thats very nice,appreciate it, i think the vast majority of f/a's do this job, because they love it, and its flexibility. no one wants peace in the workplace more than us, its what we do, we are "people-pleasers". we are sons and daughters, husbands and wives too. employees with no interest in profits, are not interested in making a company profitable. the merger gives us hope, because its not been done this way before, share holders, employees, labor and management all had to come together to make this happen, once the employees loose interest, a company can't survive, i have every hope that AA will climb high and proud, but it will take compromise on both sides, with realistic goals. the employees have given back for years with barbaric wage cuts and rules and that after deregulation did the same earlier, the airlines need to recover from the horrific losses post 9/11, but they will need our help to do it. and need to find a way to include employees in the rewards (both in respect and $). with the unbelievable profits coming in, and predicted, a gesture is past due, and will be well received. alienation of the front line employees, can't be a good thing, so i have to trust both sides want a solution, to ensure the profits keep rolling in. thanks for listening to an employee as well as a share holder. i owe a huge thank you to several of the original folks on this room, they gave me the courage to invest, and hold, and invest more, as the price rose. my retirement is set, and can't thank you enough for this "life-changer". i just wish i had done even more, hind sight is 20-20. but i am in originally at 2.00 a share and more at 12. i think my share average is 5 bucks, and with 14K shares, my only thoughts are taxes (we should always have such worries) so i will just say thank you, and good luck all
