Are you saying the 40 slots should be offered to furloughed AA guys first?
Uh Oh - here comes another flightinfo thread

P.S. - I think that is a good idea anyway

From your experience, does the bid effective date mean that's when they want the newhires active, on line, or in the pipeline?

Our contract says you can be scheduled for training up to 3 months in advance of the bid effective date

You're right again the APA guys are begging for your 2 month guys to be their captains.

I think you underestimate the APA's affection for the West. I have been told by those in the know that APA is planning to staff the 777 solely with genuine cactus pilots, in order to help them recover the salary disadvantage they have had since their inception... And also in gratitude to them for saving their job.

And my AA buddies are so hoping that the new call sign is Cactus...they hate using their name on the radio.

Actually, I think our most junior guy has been here about 6 years. I've got news for you Einstein, the APA doesn't care if it's one of our 20 year captains or one of your 20 year reserve FOs, they won't want anyone above them. If you couldn't win against us, a pilot group less than half your size, what makes you think you have any chance against a larger, well funded pilot group? You're screwed, unfortunately we're screwed too.

"Einstein"? We used to say that in junior high school in the 70's!

.....And the old AW livery will be the new at AA. Oh wait, new CACTUS tie pins for all... These guys are amazing.
