- How many flow throughs are there at Eagle? Are they mostly at the top/middle/bottom of the AA furlough list. This number can be used as a good guage for the number of pilots who will be leaving Eagle in the next few years.
-152 people hired between 01/01 and 01/04
-258 between 01/04 and 12/31/04
-113 between 01/05 and 12/31/05
-234 between 01/06 and 11/27/06
-348 AA flowbacks currently at eagle
-394 AE/CAs who already have AA sen #s
-243 additional CAs who have bid flowthrough but have no #
To bid flowthrough you have to complete IOE on the jet, so the most junior CA who has bid flowthrough was hired around 7/98. Majority of flowthroughs without #s were hired early 90s. There is a lot of potential for upgrades to drop, but it would be a lot of big 'IFs' for things to work out perfectly. Basically 348+394+243= 985 CAs that have made intentions that they are going to AA eventually. The 348 flowbacks will all go, but it will be interesting to see if/when the flowthroughs will go.
