AA announces recalls

[lookin4better]

I am curious to see what the acceptance rate will be with all the TWAers.

Good luck either way.

Here is to hiring in 2011 or earlier ... cheers!

A small detail....

Good news for 2009! 24 recalls announced for Feb 11. Hey, it's a start. If there are no earlier deferrals accepting recalls, this would be 100% TWA recallees coming back. Welcome!

My guess is that the majority in the first class or two will be deferrals and then go down to the former TWA pilots.

Any other guesses???

I am thinking recall rate will be higher since the demise of the industry, I wonder how many guys are on the street again from the demise/shutdown of another company?

 

[Coool Hand Luke]

Methinks this will be a repeat of 2007... i.e. start recalling slowly and then the momentum increases. At least I hope.

I hate to temper everyone's excitement but I've also heard that they are offering (begging was actually the term used) for F/A's to take leaves.

Starscream--I know what you're saying but this IS AMR we're talking about. Save a buck, screw the employee. TC

They've made it down the list at least twenty more names. So much for filling it with previous deferrals.

I believe the TWA acceptance rate is somewhat higher than the Native rate, given that they come back at 12yr pay and a chance at holding a line in STL (if it's offered.)

Welcome back folks!

Can anyone tell me what the average age of the current AA pilots are?

 

[aa73]

about 47. Low of 33 and high of 61.

 

[AAflyer]

about 47. Low of 33 and high of 61.

AA73,

Being 37, does that make me below average

Also, will this get all the remaining few flowbacks back to AA?

It's nice to hear some good news every now and again... Good luck on the contract AA guys.

Out of the next 24 on the recall list 5 are FBs at Eagle. There will be some who deferred previously that will fill some slots in this class of 24.
Im sure someone has exact #s, but I believe the next ~830 pilots to be offered recall will be TWA, then ~385 Native AA pilots to be called. There are about 30 FBs left at Eagle and the majority are ex-TWA, so I would assume most FBs get a call as long as AA keeps recalling.

Age has nothing to do with talent!

Are many pilots staying at AA past 65?

 

[Starscream]

Some, but not very many I'm hearing.


I've also read that, as speculated, the 2/11 class will be mainly previous deferrals. Some guys even had their recall class offer recinded.

 

[Neubyfly]

Are many pilots staying at AA past 65?

139 so far.

 

[Pilotbob3]

Are many pilots staying at AA past 65?

No not one has stayed past 65. I guarantee that!

 

[lookin4better]

Funny!

Good catch! I totally missed that, of course I meant to say 60.
