The senior 397 already have AA numbers. It's the 600 or so below them that would receive new numbers. In fact, pilots who previously chose to pass the flowthru and thus not be displaced can change back to flow thru. They must be no older than 55 and their numbers will be part of the newly assigned bottom numbers.
Of the 397 with numbers now, perhaps 150 will decline, so AA pilots will only see about 250 pilots instead of 400 mix in with higher seniority positions, which is good for them.
When the AA list was completed and included all TWA pilots, I had 2900 pilots JUNIOR to me on the AA list. Maybe half of those will com back, so including 600 eventual new Eagle pilots and including the 50% street-hire mixin provision of the new agreement, eventually about 2600 will be junior to me whenever the last Eagle pilot flows. This will take quite a few years depending on AA future pilot needs.
