So, this is really about a few dollars more without much regard for future consequences. I think US is still hiring....any takers?
Ummmmm, are you kidding? If you leave AA for a new hire position at US ,you start over at the bottom of the list, not only seniority wise, but pay wise. Are you management? With a merger the AA pilots will most likely be placed toward the top of a combined list. As for furloughs, we have quite a few ex TWA/AA pilots here. Although one ex TWA guy I know bailed from AWA when the US merger was announced and went to fly for Boeing.
