American Eagle Total Recall

[amcnd]

AA may only get about 160 CA postions at Eagle. AA was late in the game to send them to training. so come may will see what hapens.

 

[amcnd]

The monthly bid just came out and 18 jet CA upgrades from Eagle pilots, and also a dozen prop CA upgrades. Also 34 Prop FO to Jet FO. All of this with the AA pilots coming back.

Eagle Bases

Quick question for the Eagle fliers out there ... I'd looked at Eagle and had an invite to DFW but it got CX-ed post-9/11. Have heard rumors since of bases opening/closing and I know there have been changes to the fleet in that time. What are the current bases and which a/c are where? And where, other than SJU obviously, runs junior for FOs?

Thanks!

Russ, this should help:

SJU - ATR
MIA - ATR
BOS - ERJ
ORD - ERJ (and soon CRJ-700 too)
DFW - ERJ, CRJ-700, Saab 340
LAX - ERJ, Saab 340
LGA - ERJ

The ATR & Saab props are junior: SJU, DFW & LAX (in that order)

For the jet, ORD is typically the most junior for ERJ FO's, followed by BOS or LGA. LAX and DFW are senior, with many of the FO's being displaced prop captains. The CRJ in DFW is fairly senior.. I think FO's have at least 2.5 years with Eagle. Hope that helps.

CRJ DFW went SUPER junior on this last bid. A few guys from the Feb 19 2001 held it.

Yes, but it's a sad state of affairs when someone with 2.5+ years of seniority is considered "super junior" because they can hold CRJ F/O. Most other regionals will put new-hires right into the same jet.

If the upgrade takes too long and hiring resumes elsewhere (as it seems to be) Eagle will be a revolving FO door. Go there, fly for a while and move on to better opportunities.

Does anyone have a feel for how many furloughed AE pilots are returning to AE. I have flow with several former Eagle pilots and none have indicated any willingness to return to AE.

Less than 1/2 have accepted recall. About 12 resigned, 50 bypassed.
