If I understand your question correctly, you are curious as to why TWA pilots are currently getting recalled vs AA pilots?
It has to do with where on the furlough list both groups fall under.
When we first furloughed, a whole bunch of AA AND TWA pilots hit the streets. We've recalled through all of them.
Below that group -where we are today - there is a HUGE block of TWA Pilots on the furlough list, and we have been currently working our way through them right now as we recall.
BELOW those TWA Pilots are another block of approx. 385 AA pilots that represent the bottom of the furlough list. These are the pilots that were hired AFTER April 2001 (the date of the AA/TWA "integration.") We will start recalling that group by this fall.
After that group is recalled, approx. 142 AE pilots flow through.
After that, we start hiring off the street. (approx. next May.)
Hope this answers your question.
