AAFlyer,
Your numbers for 2003 don't jive with the ones on AApilots.com. AApilots only shows 60 total retirements for '03. I like your number a lot more, 60 won't even make a dent! In fact, your numbers must be more current because TWA has more than 18 retirements next year.
Here's the numbers from AApilots, with the exception of 2003, our numbers are only a couple off of each other. Bottom line is that retirements at AA won't affect recalls / hiring for a few years because of all the fleet / capacity reductions.
