They gotta recall about 3000 furloughees first. That should take at least 5 years.
Of course, then they will hire you and furlough you for 5+ years. LOL
Big Slick has got lots of good insight, but I agree 1/3 won't go back. Could be over 1/2 depending on how sick or healthy AA looks when they are called.
Imagine this, if you are one of the 1000 most junior furloughed you have probably been at another job for at least 4 years. You will likely be at that job another 3 years. It could be that NONE of the bottom 1000 come back while the top 1000 has an 80% come back rate.
The exception are the military folks who went back on active duty to get their 20 years. They may just slide back into the company after 7-10 years out.
Tons and Tons of these guys are at Airtran, SWA, FedEX, Alaska, NetJets, UPS and JetBlue. Life goes on.
I figure we will be in the full throw of another big industry downturn before AA starts hiring off the street again. But we might be back in another upswing as well.
Find a seat before the music stops for a year or more.
