AA-Rumors

[fxbat]

Lots of rumors floating around about re-calls. Anyone like to take a guess when AA will start calling?

I hope for everyone’s sake it is soon.

Yeah - I'll take a guess: Oct 2006 at ~30/mo

This fall at the earliest, next spring at the latest.

One of the currently employed TWA guys got a message from the LAX Chief Pilot (?, he's STL-based) saying they are done with furloughs. Nothing about recalls.

I did hear that a AMR VP may lose his job over the latest round of layoffs. These layoffs were done to impress Wall St. against the advice of the union AND, for once, Roy Everett. Roy was ordered to go ahead with the furloughs.

1200 hours of flying (per month, I believe) have been cancelled for the summer months due to the impending shortage of crews... Wouldn't want to reward the crews for "bad behavior" would we? TC

Lets only hope that there are no more furloughs.

I heard 800.


Medium reliable source.

Interesting times ahead....As always.

CSY Mon,

800 more what? Furloughs or recalls?

Peace, out

Well, base chief pilots just finished calling F/Os on the payroll letting them know that they would not be furloughed, so I would guess that the rumor would be about 800 recalls.

I think it would take some significant new service announcements with associated aircraft additions to generate that number of recalls in the short term. At current flying levels, we're probably undermanned by a few hundred.

Of course any of the following political issues currently in play could flush the hope of recalls down the toilet:
-Age 60 legislation
-Wright Amendment
-Bankruptcy outcomes
-Pension Legislation (could be good or bad for furloughees)

That's why I am sending my $ to you in stead of Kit Darby!

Yeah, but it will most likely be mostly regional hiring.
