FAA warns American pilots about perceived slowdown.
The FAA has stepped in to warn the American pilots that their on time performance has suffered since 9/14/2012 when talks stalled. Why is the FAA involving themselves in this contract dispute? Maybe there's a safety reason for the on time performance. (airnation.net) Mais...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The FAA could have created this as a decoy because a lot of the people they..the FAA.. employ are not happy about being intimidated into decisions which conflict with the reason the wanted to work for the FAA. Most of the FAA staff want to SERVE and protect the public and employees. This whole move could be a constructed diversion.
Miss use of the minimum equipment list!?! WTF? If you don't use it they pull your ticket.
Think this is about slots and separation issues.
Here's a link to an article from Air Nation........interesting.

The FAA can and will do an inspection when their is financial distress, change in scope of the carrier (growth, down sizing) and labor unrest.

I'm sure the warning that was sent was only an announcement of this inspection and that the FAA has increased their oversight and surveillance of the entire operation...it is not only flight operations, maintenance, in-flight (flight attendants), training, dispatch and even infrastructure department such as tech pubs, HR, etc are all getting a good hard look.

Can anybody point me to the actual letter or comment from the FAA? All I see are a bunch of labor/management posturing in the articles with one reference to a comment in response to a pilot question.
Where or what is the actual warning?
