Well at least you guys are up on your taxi speeds.

Oh yeah, Comair and RAH are buying AA.

250 recalls. I believe bypasses come first, followed by the 70 unjustly furloughed in March then 185 +/- flowthroughs then the "newhires" (according to that moron Niccolau).

That's the rumor from the company board.

[Deli Guy]

I've heard there is more to come this afternoon from JFK. Arpey is supposedly on his way to NY. Have any AA people heard this?
Not trying to start anything, I am truly in the dark.

Sounds like recalls of 250 pilots and 545 F/A's: Press Release

Boy, FI was 0 & 23 on this one...

How many furloughed AA pilots will they go through to get 250? Or am I being too optimistic and it's only 250 notices being sent out...

Dork. At least say it right, it should say "0 for 23". Have you ever even played a sport? And no, Dungeons and Dragons is not a sport.

In other words, for the bottom half of us TWA folks, check back again late next year. Who will be the next group to get our jobs back before us?

250 pilot recalls? Not bad. But who wants to be at the bottom of the AA list flying a dilapidated MD80 on reserve for years and years? What's the upgrade estimate at AA nowadays - 20+ years for newly recalled pilots? Yeah, no thanks...

buying Pinnacle Airlines and stapling them to the bottom of the seniority list

Funny. A friend of mine who is a FT at Eagle showed me a paper that AA gave him about 6 months ago to help his decision on whether to transfer to AA or not. They estimated he would make CA in 5-7 years. Personally I think that is somewhat optimistic but I go with a 7-9 year upgrade range.

Two opposites. Aircal got DOH, Reno got the staple. What do you mean?

(If I'm wrong about this I'm sure I'll be corrected)

Just pointing out every time AA buys a West coast presence, they draw it down (Aircal). Then another airline (Reno) starts flying, AA buys them then quits the West coast again.

Thanks for the advice, Captain RJ. Go refill your meds for your sjs.

If AMR bought ALK they would have large hubs in ANC,SEA and LAX. Not saying it's going to happen, or want it to happen, but they would.
