Best guess on when a current aa guy/gal would be able to be domiciled in Charlotte?

Most recent awarded CLT have been on propert less than six months.

Realistically, I'd say 24 months or more before we see a bid that has us crossing metal and domiciles.

Where do you live? Where I'm from it takes about 650k to buy a decent fixer upper on a tiny lot. If you don't mind living on the outskirts you might get something for 450k. Considering the massive liability pilots shoulder every time they go to work they should be able to afford living in the cities in which they are based. 400K sounds about right for the right seat

45 minutes to the CLT parking lot. 2800 square feet; 4.5 acres. 200K.

I really don't know how many times I got say this, but nobody here seems to get it...

AA's current contract is still recovering from AA's trip through BK. While many improvements were made, pay improvement is still in progress, including first year pay.

Delta and United first year pay came up REMARKABLY after their Ch 11 exits and mergers, through their new JCBAs. May I remind everyone here what their new hire pay rates were before that? It was in the 30$/hr range, similar to ours today.

Now that we are out of BK and merged, you can expect our new hire pay to also come up to delta and united standards with the JCBA.

It's not rocket science folks... work with me here.

Aa- that's really good- it's just historically airline unions haven't cared about first year pay and I think that really hurt us after 9/11- we'd all accept about anything to keep from changing companies-
Upping first year pay across the board (and as the biggest now- AA is a huge part of that) will give us just enough leverage to stave the next downturn a little bit better.

BTW, what ever happened to AA hiring? FI has been silent about that for a while.

It continues. There is a pretty extensive thread on APC.

Didn't you get the memo? General Lee has all but killed FI. Check out the thread counts on the main page of the Majors section here versus the majors section of APC. Need relevant news, go to APC. Want to sling mud and insult GL and his mom's basement, stick around, something in 3....2....1.....

Agree 100%

So true.

It's also the $10 fee for new members. APC is free. This place has been slowly dying since that fee started.
