Regarding another new rule, on a selfish point of view and as a retiree I am less happy because we will go after any active employee.
Non reving is not getting easy specially with the arrival new Airbus with less capacity and it will be more a challenge for us.
However, one good thing with this new priority rule is for my fellows TWA retirees they were always close to the bottom of the list, even after D3 which I think was quite unfair. No them and us will be on the same boat.
Anyway I still consider myself very lucky to be travel the world.
Happy new year to all.

I am new to this forum, so please give me a pass (no pun intended) if I appear to be butting in where I don't belong. I am a retired AA employee (1Aug2008). I have not seen any notices regarding changes to retiree pass boarding priority. All boarding is by pass priority, ie. A-9, D-1T, D-1, D-2T, etc. Is there something I'm missing in the merger details?
