Rumor. American to hire by summer?

[Jeepman]

I got an email from Eagle stating that they are offering new hires $5000.

A year....

A year....

Haha!

American Eagle publicly stated that 50% of their pilots will flow up to AA in the next 5 years. Of course, that may not happen. But, that is what they are predicting as of today.

For a two year commitment. So basically an extra $208/month. You're worth more.

Saw the furlough list about two weeks ago. They are burning through guys trying to fill classes. Looked like one in twenty was taking the recall with the rest defered. Crazy.

I believe it. All the furloughed AA guys I know, none are going back.

I may have missed this somewhere else in this thread but does anyone know if certain numbers of seats are allotted for Eagle flows per class? Trying to get an idea of how tough it would be for a non-Eagle pilot to get on when the doors finally open.

Tough to network at AA because I fly in the DL connection network exclusively the past almost 6 years. I do what I can though, like trying to get to know the rare AA jumpseater. I otherwise never run into AA pilots.

Apply to US Airways.... They are hiring and if a merger happens you'll be an American Airlines Pilot. Go for it! They are interviewing and Hiring some of the FO's at the Wholly Owns now.

I started class at National on the DC-8. Miami based. Heard we are getting two 747s and maybe some DC-10s. Exciting times.

Damn, that was when nobody within 5 miles of MIA had a clue what an Empanada was.

Me to the MOD of La Carretta after some BS crap service, "Why is it I can order food and drink 24/7 in my gringo spanish at every joint from good to bad from Madrid to Santo Domingo to San Salvador to Lima to Santiago to Bueno Aires and the only place I have trouble is with your numbnuts behind the counter at MIA?".

Reply: "I know, welcome to my world."
