Are you serious? If so, why do they need that many pilots? Did they say?
Guys, is no secret that AA will be the biggest player on hiring the next few years. There are around 250 eagle pilots with AA seniority numbers that will start getting recalled (they have the option to defer and allot probably will) in the next few months. Then there is the 824, this is a done deal. The arbitrator has ruled and we are waiting for the specifics, but as of right now they will take 50% of classes at AA. It is in AMR best interet to move them as fast as possible. Then there is the 35% but we know that is a bit suspicious but the above mentioned is happening (well we know how things are in the biz). Eagle will see allot of movement in the next few months, this is why we are hiring so much. We haven't seen a vacancy bid in over 2 months because the compant is waiting on the final details, and the AA retirements are making things a bit more interesting.
