eagle will not hire 700 in 2012.
all that is for consumption purposes of the lonely masses.
ATR leave all in 2 years. Thats 225 extra pilots.
E135/E140 all leave in 3 years, thats an extra 450 pilots.
No growth just reduction for feed divesting.
Thats 675 extra pilots than required, even with flow of AA numbered AE pilots still leaves 300 extra excess pilots.
but yeap, ae will hire for training bubble but then will furlough at the end. big furlough june 2012. but come on over.
my facts are based on AMR form 10, the ASA agreement, the concessionary contract and the scheduled fleet removal.
