It is time to push for a change in the opposite direction. If AMR wants China Flying so bad, then they can negotiate our contract includling super long haul.

So basically you'd risk losing the China route to another airline. And then you'll whine about AA not recalling fast enough pilots.

It's clear you don't understand the history (both recent and distant) of employee relations at AMR. Read up on it.TC

How does the recall at AA work? Do you get a call and the opportunity to go back or bypass, then through the list one time and another last chance once it gets back to you?

Why don't you do us all a favor and educate us on this history. Or do you want us to wait till AA loses the China Route and associated revenue.

A certified letter arrives and your response is either to accept, refuse, or bypass. If you bypass you must advise of how long you intend to bypass, up to three years past the time the most junior pilot gets offered recall. From that point all you have to do is advise AA when you're ready to take recall and you'll be put into the next available class.

They're just going to pull aircraft off another route like they did with ORD-PVG and ORD DEL. They'll move up 767s and 757s to backfill and at the end of the day a few additional city pairs go to Eagle (PVD, PIT, ect.).

If that's how they want to operate the airline, that's their prerogative; but, there are some contractual changes that are essential if AMR wants to do this. Long story short, how would you feel about losing a 35 hour trip without pay due to MX, WX or schedules sending it to reserve due to a tight deadhead connection?

 

[Smoke Toliet]

Does anyone know how senior SFO is for AA?

 

[bayoubandit]

Hire date of around June '99.

 

[Vastly Underemp]

Hire date...June '99....that's funny...I was June '99 and I'm WAY down the furlough list...maybe the integration went the way it did so they could keep me out of SFO...yeah, that's the ticket (TO MY AA BRETHEREN, THIS WAS ALL VERY TONGUE IN CHEEK!)
