“From the Ground UP”

Dear  Brothers  and  Sisters,

By  now  you  may  have  received  a  promotional  flyer  in  the  mail  from  American  Airlines called “From  the  Ground UP”a slick pitch intended “only to provide a description of the facts and issues already presented at the bargaining table”. A  couple  of  questions  immediately  come  to  mind. First,  how  much  did  this  flyer  cost  to  produce and  mail  to  nearly  10,000  fleet  service   households? Second,   how   accurately  can   these   bullet  point “Facts” represent  the  complex  realities  that  have  been  central  to  these  negotiations  for  well  over  two  years?
