Not true of the AA FA's that I know very well.
I don't believe that most AA union employees have liked or respected or any other "word game" description that you want to use for a very, very long time. You probably have to go back before deregulation in the 70's. Unions don't like the change in the industry. Who would? Do they blame the oil companies? No. How about Boeing or Airbus or the passengers or the competition or the leasing companies? No. Do they blame the airports? A little. Do they blame the management? Yes. For them the management embodies the whole of the negative transition that the industry is in.
