Of the 2,400 TWA pilots Over 900 have/had seniority at AA from 2,000 to 8,000 and were never furloughed.
All TWA pilots were ratio'd in at 8:1 until they ran out of pilots. The rest would then be called a staple.
Just to make some corrections to your post---and I know we've been over this,
and I know your position on the seniority list: 900 TWA CAs were ratioed in at 8.14-to-1 above you, but 400 of the 900 took the FERB (early retirement w/full yr's pay & benefits), leaving only 500 TWA CAs above you----but since they were
all forced/fenced into STL, this really had no effect on you. And second, your statement "
All TWA pilots were ratio'd in at 8:1 until they ran out of pilots" is sort of mis-leading; 1100 TWA pilots (out of 2400) were ratioed, then 1300 (including me) were stapled to the bottom of the list.
And for BamaSkier, your post claiming "
American began furloughs around January 2002 and did not begin recalls until January 2011" isn't completely accurate. AA began furloughs on October 1st,2001...right after 9-11 occured, and did offer recalls in '07, but to a small number of pilots; some of these pilots were furloughed
AGAIN in early '09 (TWA pilots only), but recalled by 2010. Then recalls continued throughtout 2011 until AA declared Chapter 11.
