AA Recalls

[BuckMurdock1]

Just curious if anyone's privy to AA's recall status? More specifically, what is the ball-park guess as to when the last pilot will be given their final "yes or no" decision. Have they already gone through the whole list at least once?

Thanks in advance.

They have not gotten to a lot of the TWA guys

At the going rate they'll call the bottom of the furlough list in October.

What happens after they reach the bottom? New hires? How long can pilots defer?

Once they hit the last guy, a three year clock starts. Must go back within that time or you are done. I believe new hires and Eagle flow-throughs (1 for 1) after that.

just to clarify, does this mean "everybody who is furloughed" will be called by end of October.

 

[TWA Dude]

Yes. There are over a thousand deferrers (soon to include me) and rising. That's how the bottom will be reached so quickly.

cool, thanks

They've got some flowthroughs (spots, not yet assigned to Eagle bodies) but the furloughee 'take rate' is expected to rapidly hit 10%.

From what someone said on C&R (APA message board), it sounded like the manpower/planning people are starting to realize they need a newhire program spooling up RFQ.

Still no cannon shot...

When they reach the bottom of the list (including the 240 or so more AE FTs that flow when the bottom is reached), they go back up the list once. If the pilot defers once again, that starts the 3 year clock. Once they go all the way back UP the list, new hires will start. At this rate - if they continue, which I think they will - we should see new hires by next year. 1 out of every 2 new hires must be an AE FT, up to a max of 20 per class.

Whoever wrote that they're not getting to a lot of TWA pilots - they are more than halfway through them. In fact they should be through all the TWAers and reaching the last batch of 385 "natives" (those hired after April '01 who are below EVERYONE), by Sept/Oct or so at this rate.

20 early outs from DFW alone tomorrow (July 1.) We're guessing about 50/60 early outs systemwide tomorrow. Gonna get real interesting here.
