Are they 1988 hires and senior to that flying Way Junior on the list, or are you saying that all the TWA pilots were stapled with a April 2001 hire date and they are out of Seniority flying Captain???
Never seen a seniority list that Supplement CC was modified off of, if you could get one I would love to see it.

Actually, the AA greenbook stipulates all pilots seniority is based on "length of service", thus when TWA pilots were offered employement, they should have been straight-stapled as per the contract (I beleive the TWA F/A's were). Instead, during the transition phase the parties agreed to a better methodolgy that protected most TWA captains in STL and stapled the bottom half, including those on furlough. In other words, they got a better deal then APA's own contract provided for and a better deal then the F/A's.
This new seniority list that resulted was the "modified seniority list" and is the ONLY seniority list at AA. Of course, most former TWA pilots last words on their death beds will be "the APA screwed me" and this will NEVER change. It is what it is and that's the way it is. Pointless to continue to beat this horse as not only is it dead, but is rotted to skeleton status, whose bones are scattered about.
