AA announces recall

[AA717driver]

Think the A-plan will hang on that long, B6? TC

As usual, AA waits until everyone else is recalling and then some to start its recalls. Can't AA ever be a leader rather than a follower?

Are you kidding? That would be breaking ranks with 75 years of history!

Good news for all of us, active or furloughed. I was previously saying that it would be two more years before we started seeing recalls because I was fed up with being optimistic. Figures!

I think they came up with 10/month simply because they can't handle more than that at the schoolhouse, what with all the instructors that were let go. As was mentioned previously, they will have to go through about 100/month just to get the 10. We'll see.

To those that come back, welcome! And to those that bypass, can't say I blame you.

regards to all,
73

I think the 10 number is just a wag because they had to give us SOME number. They will bring back what they need, month to month. Which is good. 'cause I think they'll need more than 10.

With the current contract, what does an 8th year f/o on the 80 make these days?

Good news for everybody. I wonder how large a stampede from the LCC's (JB, Airtran, etc..) will be?

Would be great to get some accurate retirement info as if we can assume 500/yr and figure a 3:1 recall ratio... it could be inside of 14 months before they "hire" again..

From another board:
Here is the retirement schedule for AA:

I don't think it will be a stampede. AA hasn't furloghed a 2-21/2 years. That puts those guys (possibly) in the left seat somewhere else. By the time they get to the early furloughees, I think most will be pretty entrenched somewhere else.

I do think the flowbees will rush back to AA as they are in a good position to do so.

Anyone that goes back to AA from one of those jobs should be summarily dismissed on psychological grounds.
