AA New Hires in Dec

[Beefy Botham]

What is a realistic timeframe to Captain if hired in this current wave? I know there are lots of variables here but any educated guesses? Wondering if I should jump ship.

Congrats to AMR on the new hiring. If I were making a move to the majors, AMR would rank would rank #1. Lots of movement in the next few years.

And i would go to American instead of Airways because you'll probably jump over all the US Air new hires.

I'm super curious what's on the medical exam or what they look for.

Unless they have changed it, stricter than most. A friend got all the way through years ago only to get dropped for taking cholesterol lowering med's and a little above the suggested weight / height index.

I took a look at the retirements at AMR and it equals about 3700 retirements in the next decade. At that point you would still be an FO absent a substantial amount of growth considering the current list has 9600 pilots.

Let's just see if the merger goes thru first, champ! That's a big IF....

Negative ghost rider.

Negative ghost rider.

What part?

Judging how well airways has done in past mergers there's a chance active us air captains could get plunked behind American new hires.

After the announcement of the Merger (02/2013) it will go by date of hire. No other logical way to do it boss....I guarantee it!
