Roughly 75 airplanes, 10 pilots per plane thats 750 pilots. 240 have AA numbers, 70% will go, leaving you 70 from the 240. 750-240=510,510+70=580. 580 excess pilots, unless other majors start hiring, no pref hire will be at AA short of 5 years from 2012.

Recalls at AA will only continue to maybe to let the numbered flow pilots who elect to go to AA, leave. The rest are excess.
Do you understand that AMR can bring in new ATRs over night at Eagle. The -600 only required a day of difference training, just like we do now with the 212 & 212A. Odds are AMR will buy new ATRs, the aircraft is to economical and the capabilities cannot be matched by any aircraft out there. And actually, AMR is increasing the ATR flying out of Dallas.
