AA is recalling F/As

In the know

Is $20K at Eagle take home money or is that still before taxes? What is a realistic paycheck at first year pay? $700, $800, $900?

You will take home (that's NET) about 2000/month the first year at Eagle. The first check of the month is about 650 the second is anywhere from 1200-1600. These numbers may move up a little cuz the first year pay is moving up 9%.

As of Jan 1 2005 the min days off is up to 11/month. Of course that is for a reserve pilot. With all the growth you probably wouldn't be on reserve more than a month or 2. Then you can count on a 13 day off line something like 4 on 3 off.

good luck!

You forgot to add early shows and late finishes on lots of trips, the 5 to 6 year upgrade time, heavy handed management style, airplanes that break down alot, employee groups that hate each other, etc.

Thanks for the clarification.

So, the D-2/3 fee is far all AE/AA employees? Or is it just for pilots? Is eagle the only regional out there that requires its pilots to pay to JS to/from work?

Travel

Say you get hired and are an EMJ FO based in LGA. Now lets say you live in Dallas. To get to work you would have to travel non-revenue to LGA from Dallas. You would do this under the category of D-2, IF, you chose to travel on American. You list on a DFW-LGA flight and if there is an available seat in the back you would have to occupy it and there would be a charge (usually $10.76) to take that flight. If there were no empty seats you get 1W, (the jumpseat in the cockpit) it is free.

D-3 travel is what your friends and relatives (except parents) travel under. That basically means if there is one seat available on a flight and you have a D-2 and a D-3 trying for it, you guessed it, the D-2 gets it.

After 5 years of service your D-2 travel is free... at least coach.

Now, if you want to take another carrier to work (or Las Vegas or MIA) then you can travel for free on them so long as they have a seat available. One night I couldn't get home as all the AA flights were full. I walked to a different terminal and took ATA for free. Sure is nice to have options.

The only differentiation between AE pilots and non-pilot employees is you as a pilot are FDJ (Flight Deck Jumpseat) eligible. You can sit in the cockpit if that is the only seat left.

If I have thoroughly confused you or if you have any questions PM me, I'll be happy to help.

good luck!
