AA announces recalls starting Jan 2013

40/month, first class 1/9/13. Welcome back!

Good deal, this will help a couple friends of mine a lot.

Good to see guys getting back in the saddle.

A few of my friends that were furloughed are Captains in other carriers and not one is going back. I see AA start hiring outside very shortly, keep eyes open for a pilot window to open soon at AA.

WOW! thanks for that insight Mad Dog!

Lots of guys still out, and then there's the flow-ups. Could be a while at that rate.

 

[Whine Lover]

You mean a "flow-up" ...Just a little bit in their mouths?



I am so happy that we are all Effed.

Love,

Whine

Do the flow ups have to occupy the whole class? Maybe there could be off the street hiring in 2013 if the flow ups are only a percentage of eagle guys

 

[XTW]

Thanks for the heads up JP! Tough times to be going back there at this juncture.

[aa73]

Don't blame ya one bit X... I'd be hesitant to come back too unless I was on the street or had a crappier job.

Thanks, JP. Just had a call from a union guy asking about this. Always the last to know...

- How many are still out?

- Is it 800(ish) to be offered recall yet of the 1600 total on furlough?

- Of the 800 that have been offered recall but bypassed, how many do you aa guys think will return when the "take it or leave it" call comes? My guess is 1/3rd of the total 1600 which is about 500 to 600 will take the recall. Just my WAG based on what I remember from the AAA recall during 2006 to 2008.

- What kind of DOH do eagle guys get wrt the flow up?

 

[aa73]

1685 on furlough, of which 650 have yet to be offered recall.

Acceptance rate? Don't know. Many of those are CAs somewhere else and will probably not come back.

IMHO, the big kicker will be whether furloughees get a chunk of the claim if this TA passes. If they don't, I bet you'll see a pretty good acceptance rate.

Either way we slice it, they will get through the 650 pretty quick.

I believe Eagle pilots get original AE DOH for vacation purposes. Seniority wise, they come in at the year when they checked out as RJ CA. Pay wise is first year pay, although I'm not 100% sure.

Just to clarify - that means if an eagle guy upgraded in 1999 and flows over in 2013 he gets an AA DOH of 1999? I could see that being a huge issue in a merger.

Or is it that they come over and go to the bottom of AA but in their eagle seniority order. For example when the wholly owned guys came to US mainline we were tacked to the bottom of the mainline list in our wholly owned seniority. The only thing retained from wholly owned to mainline was DOH for travel privileges.

Yeah eff that noise in a merger he gets doh when he starts at American.
