TWA Furlough expiration date

[crxpilot]

What is the last date a TWA furlough has to return to American if they want to go back? I know there could be a series of bypasses etc but I am wondering if a final date has been determined yet? Thanks.

May 2016 is when the three year clock expires. After that they start from the bottom of the list and it's time to poop or get off the pot.

Then I would put May 2016 as the true start of the hiring boom.

How many total are on deferral?

 

[TWA Dude]

Around 900.

Around 900.

The real question then becomes of the 900 +/- how many will
return after May 2016?

Any number put forth would just be a guess but it could have a
significant impact in the hiring plans when that number is finally known.

 

[TWA Dude]

I would guess no more than half.

I would guess no more than half.

Maybe more, maybe less but a guess just the same. Time will tell.....

Got a question for you TWA dude - a little off topic but
Are you on both the AA list, AWE list, and your name is also on the Nic?

If so, what is your plan? No flame intended - just curious on what your betting on?

Yes, I exist both on the Nic list and AA furloughed. My current plan is to stay put. Not betting on anything. I'm on 11 year pay here vs 4 year if I take recall. If anything changes I'll reevaluate my plan.

Well that is a big difference in length of service.
Even if they don't use Nic , it seems better to use your PHX seniority position , rather than be at bottom of AA list as of merger date ( or whatever date ends up being used ). And since we really don't know yet what metrics will be used with all the pilot groups for the SLI, you seem to be in an interesting position.
