New routes, new hiring. Rrrriiiiight. All smoke and mirrors. Please, APA pilots, don't be fooled. Stand strong, and keep ensuring those aircraft are extremely safe and well maintained, right through the holidays.
Don't worry Mink, nobody is falling for it. Even **IF** we have a slight net increase in airframes, who's to say AA won't decide to suddenly park older aircraft previously unannounced, resulting in a loss.
As far as I'm concerned, Horton timed his "cafeteria koolaid" perfectly in time for the holidays. Translation, we announce hiring and growth, pilots are injected with optimism, and the operation trucks right on through the holidays seamlessly.
Meanwhile, Nov 1 approaches... tick tock
777-300 pay rate would be in the proposed Group 5 pay rate. Nothing set in stone yet until we get a contract.
