AA Recalls

[eaglesview]

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

Are you going to go?? I think I would.

You're right. From the Alliedpilots.org furlough section:

- when the last pilot seniority #10807 is offered recall, the 3 year clock starts for those still deferring recall.
- after this group of pilots will come the remaining 151 AE flow-through pilots who were added to the AA seniority list by the Larocco arbitration.
- this group of AE pilots cannot defer, they come when offered or lose their AA seniority number.
- throughout the recall process, any deferred pilot may cancel their deferral and return to AA in seniority order.
- new hires will be next.
- after the 3year clock runs out, deferred pilots will be recalled in reverse seniority order (most junior first).
- deferred pilots may not defer longer when called this time. They must except or resign their seniority number.

Thanks. Good information, and plainly stated so that even I can understand it.

I'm guessing that many who deferred are holding out for ratification of a contract. If said contract includes some sort of LOS for those furloughed (like 1 year for each 2 on furlough), and the pay rates increase to pre-concession, factored for inflation, then I would expect to see the undeferrals occur in pretty significant numbers. I'm holding out for paid weekends and holidays off.

I'm going to wait to see which job looks crappier. Right now AA is worse because I make more money here and have an easy commute to Phx. If I took recall I'd have fewer days off and have to commute to Mia or lga. No thanks, I have plenty of time to see what happens.

Don't expect that before all furloughs are back on property. That's the way it's gone down in the past.

My buddies there seem to be optimistic that a contract will be ratified before year's end. Of course these are the same guys that told me I'd be furloughed for only 2-3 years, so you're probably right.

This is what I was told as well. Or at least both parties were working well together(finally) and trying to get something knocked out.

Not good, is it?

Word has it from today's recall class that AA has plans to recall indefinately and have plans to up the class size to 40 per month.

They further went onto say that there might be a potential for
new hire classes sometime during the summer of 2012.

Hope this helps.

Excellent, hope it holds true.....

Now the hard part of getting a resume noticed....

Does/did AA require the space shuttle type rating in the past? I've got a spotless background, worked for a couple regionals, Netjets and a few others... My only "in" would be a buddies dad who worked at AA for nearly 40 years (not flying) and hopefully knows some semi-important people (apparently he does/did)....

I've found that since hiring has been so slow this past decade, most of my peers are still not in the majors even with 10+ years experience. Some are at SWA/Jetblue, but even they have not hired much in the past couple years. So having internal recs has proven pretty difficult. Networking has been tough since I switched to the corporate side of things 5 years ago..

Always wanted to fly for AA, even as crazy as it sounds these last few years!

I'll go to AA to have a schedule again, no more on-call 135 crap, good equipment, and set in stone work rules again. Pay,, ehh, as much as I plan I'll never have money. Might as well not even think about pay...:beer:

That, in itself, disqualifies you mentally and emotionally.
