I was an Eagle newbie with Reno joined the AA family. On the bus from the training center to the hotel one afternoon I struck up a conversation with a cute AA new hire girl who was maybe 30 years old. I asked what she thought of it.
Her: "Oh, I think it's great. New company expansion, more airplanes, more domiciles."
Me: "So I heard ALL of the Reno pilots would probably be stapled to the bottom...that seems a little harsh."
Her: "Well, none of them should be senior to me. I may be new but I was good enough to get on with AA and none of them were, that's why they where at Reno".
Me: (Shocked) "Well..uh....OK then....good luck with training"
Probably good I got that lesson out of the way early. I'm REALLY excited to be getting my chance to join the "family".
