As a potential new hire at Eagle, I've been wondering about the 720 number as well. That would be terrific news for a new hire today, as you'd reach roughly 50% seniority on the FO side in only a year. However, AA is only looking at 5 mandatory retirements in 2012, notwithstanding all the early retirements. What am I missing that would warrant 720 new hires next year?
Again, is not how much people you have below. Is how much people above you move.
AA lost 100+ captains last month. Even only 5 guys have to go next year, people is retiring before that.
I moved 200 numbers up in a year, and they have hired like 350 to 400 in this year. I'm still on reserve...
figure it out.
