There will be no good news until the "current" contract is signed some time in the year 2008. After we yield massive "productivity" line items to the company in exchange for a 2% pay raise and a no-furlough clause, and further gut scope, the company will announce they are buying 4 B757's that are for sale from "Wild Bill's Desert Aircraft Salvage" in Elko, Nevada.
Once the contract is signed, we'll see a huge aircraft order and massive recalls.
I just hope that they don't make a bunch of work rule changes that increase the number of block hours per pilot. Or switch to PBS, which reduces pilot needs by 5%. (Like my UAL 'brothers' still on property did in C2003).
If that happens, recalls will be delayed for quite a while. UAL got an additional 20-25% efficiency out of their pilots with those work rule changes.
It won't rock under the hand of AMR. I have heard the good things about PBS from may TWA pilots, however AA will not use those metrics in THEIR programming. Just take a look at our NEGOTIATED TTOT.PBS rocks. If you've never had it, you wouldn't understand. Better lines for everyone. Less open time = less reserves = more line holders. The added efficiency will help to give you an opportunity for profitibility which is the best chance you have to grow and recall pilots.
Good luck.
