Thanks for the explanation. I really had no idea on the seniority process at AA. I'm not sure if Smooth still flying with AA, lost touch a few years back.Originally Posted by What
Your friend isn't at AA if he was hired in 2001, after 9/11 he was furlough and has yet to be recalled, so if he is flying the 777 it is not on AA colors. AA doesn't take the majority of pilots from AE, it's actually the opposite they prefer not to, we have a flow trough agreement that as it stands we will send 824 pilots to AA on the first 1,648 pilots that AA hires, this is after all furlough pilots (including your "friend") have been recalled and the another 240 Eagle pilots who are on the seniority list at AA are given the opportunity to flow. Your friend might have been awarded the 777 when hired in 2001. I am not sure if your question is if you can get the 777 because of your TT, when you are in pilot training for AMR seniority is assigned based on age on the first day of class and then equipments are picked from the list of available slots. It doesn't matter if you flew the shuttle, if you are the youngest pilot (most junior in class) you will get the airplane that is left over after the rest of the pilots pick!
