What'd you expect? DOH? People coming over better brush up on their hand flying before they come. They're looking hard at flying skills in the schoolhouse.

APA had nothing to do with this. ALPA and AMR cooked up this deal.

P.S.--If you want to write that way when you text your bff, fine. Use English on a message board so adults can read it.

Don't count your chickens just yet. Had an AA jumpseater who said the biggest reason for the evacuation may be impending bankruptcy.

AA may be the next dinosaur to go extinct.

I'd figure that possibility in while salivating over AA retirements and how long you'll be #1 on a non-existent seniority list.

I have a hard time believing BK talk except as a negotiating ploy. I mean, what bean counter in their right mind is going to sign on to lease over 1000 airplanes in the next 15 years to a company that they think could go bankrupt? I dont see any doing that in the current economic environment. I mean maybe for a 15-20 airplane lease deal, but potential for 1000 airplanes, the financials have to look good for any leasing company to be willing to do a deal on those. Thats just my opinion, but I think a real BK of AMR aint going to happen.

Hopefully a pre-packaged bankruptcy deal, to include decent pay raises for all working groups. This of course in exchange for a restructured pension plan.

Could be a ewin-win for those looking towards the future...and not the next 6 months of employment.

Doh

lets go, I get my paycheck from the same place you do AA717, well not really since you were twa. alot of the twa folks couldn't pass eagle training, so go ahead and brush up on your flying since you, can tell me what i need

nothing to see here ... pass along

 

[LearLove]

Really? Can you define alot (spelled "a lot")? Is it the same stellar percentage as Eagle flowthoughs that can not pass AA training?

 

[laxsf3ca]

alot is more then a grundle

looks like you've been kicked to the curbs a few times.

A/C Flown: ATR-72, CRJ-700, EMB-145, 767, 757, MD80, 727, SF-340, BE-02
Ratings: ATR, CL-65, EMB-145, 757, 767, BE-02


nothing to see .... move along

 

[labbats]

I've flown with dozens if not hundreds of senior Eagle captains. While some may be goofballs most are cool and I can only think of 3 or 4 who are bad pilots.

AA is lucky to have them IMO.

Just once

Snaab--The deal for Eagle guys is 35 pct. of each newhire class (REAL newhires, not recallees as dip$hit Niccolau determined...) unless Eagle is furloughing then it goes to 50 pct.

Just heard tonight from the STL recall guru that, due to the large number of retirements in Sep., only 25 recallees a month. The schoolhouse will be full of the 4 training events per 777 CA retirement. October could see MORE retirements. AA is kind of hosed. Maybe REALLY hosed.

The recall acceptance rate is at 14.6 pct. Yes, our guru has it down to the gnat's a$$.

Keep the questions coming.

Thanks for the info!

"A lot" of the TWA people didn't pass the chicken $h!t checkride antics that hadn't been seen since they were out at the little airport getting rides from the bitter old guy who couldn't get any other job. You know, we DO talk to each other. It's no secret what some of the Eagle Check guys did.

This is a road you don't want to travel.

What's the matter? Won't the SWA/AT guys let you play in their yard anymore?
