[AAslag]

Kitty,

Yes, my comment was a sophomoric cheap shot. My apologies.

Guess I won't be dumping them lavs either.

Slag,

Apology accepted. Thank you.

Merry Christmas

Kitty--NO!!! You're supposed to tell 'slag to go F**k himself.

Now we're gonna have to start this whole thread over again... TC

 

[AAslag]

TC,

You need to return to the banks of Knob Creek. All that SOCAL exposure is affecting your Karma dude.

Before you leave, would you mind stopping by Pastore's neighborhood. I need a new Bentley. The tires on mine, I'm afraid, have becoming soiled.

 

[AA717driver]

'slag--I think he's wintering in Tortola. I'll ask the help... TC

Rumor has it another big anouncement in January. More bad news. More "restructuring" (i.e. job losses). If you're low on the seniority list, I'd recommend light spending this Christmas.

 

[Isla Mujeres]

Great !

More good news...

 

[ROJO]

Dangerkitty,

If you don't mind, what kind of work are you doing now? Just curious.

 

[B717 Furloughee]

Glad to see you all patched things up. See what we can do if we work together and not against each other.

ROJO,

Check your PM

Out of nothing more than sheer curiosity without rattling too many cages, I was wondering if someone can state the numbers of TWAers (pilots) that are still flying present day at AA if any?. I heard a 5 to 7% number being thrown around and that doesn't seem correct for some reason. I know that none of the TWA flight attendants remain but that should change with the next recall so I am told.(I guess some progress is better than none)..... I guess I am just wondering about the numbers, DOH's, and how all this transpired when AA took over..


Thanks and a Merry Christmas to all-

Latest cockpit rumour I heard was that AA would be grounding 100 to 200 narrow-body jets early next year with the resultant loss of crews. What is the ratio, 12 to 14 pilots per jet? That would make upwards of 2000+ furloughs.

Of course rumours have a way of becoming more morbid with each telling.

350driver,

Approximately 500 TWAers remain out of 2300 total pilots. We currently have about 2700 on the street, broken down that would be about 1800 TWA pilots and 900 AA pilots.

DOH as follows, ex TWA around 1988 and AA at 2000.

And several lives ruined in the process.

Sadly watching airline history unfold (and about to contribute to unemplyoment),

p.s. merry xmas to you too!

73,

I appreciate the response. A family member spent 28 years at TWA so it was sad to see 75+ years of such a tradition come to an end. I wish ya'll the best and hope that those 2700 have been able to obtain employment somewhere.

cheers,

Thanks man, unfortunately I have a feeling it will get worse before it gets better... to the tune of many more furloughs. If APA gets the Pref bidding and 90hr monthly cap we will be letting a whole bunch more go.

Hope Cactus is treating you well, gotta lot of friends that ended up there and love it.
