If the Nov furloughs are recalled, they will be replaced by (former) TWA guys that are below them on the integrated seniority list. Haven't heard anything about a true recall and wouldn't expect it this year.
vp of flight just announced 61 more furloughs from TWALLC. Said it was due to the reduced flying of the B-717 and eventual phase out of the airframe at AA.
I think it will be end of 2003 or early 2004 when they might start calling some people. Reason:
-AA needs to trim STL flying comparable to flying in ORD, DFW...
-Parking of B717, B767, some MD80s from TWA side;
-Future furloughs will happen from TWA side, because of the merged seniority list and also it is good for AA to trim STL flying;
-TWA people probably fenced to STL till 2004 or 2005, so first 400-500 recalled will come from TWA, so why train twice? You wait till 2004-2005 and train them to AA procedures only, because by then all TWA airplanes should be AA configured.
-AA in the past, if I am not wrong, was usually the last to recall.
Good luck to you AA pilots. I have a lot of causins flying for AA and I hope I was wrong about the length of the furlough.
TWA Dude it is good for the COMPANY-MANAGEMENT ONLY. I wouldn't be more happier to see TWA increase flying out of STL it would help my brother go back to work.
