You mean "airplanes" ?

Because that claim was simply a clumsily played pre-contract posturing move by Horton. At the very same time Horton was "floating" that possibility (early post bankruptcy in very early 2012), Hale was on record as saying he was exactly that same amount SHORT of pilots for the Summer 2012 schedule. In fact (and not assumption), through the entire bankruptcy and to this day, this carrier is short of pilots in virtually all statuses and that was under both Horton and now Parker. Green trips are rare to non-existent as proof, at least on the AA legacy side.

Not to worry, the arbitration PANEL will correctly evaluate what was reality and what was fiction in the three pre-merger carriers conditions and likely future both absent the merger and with it just as the PANEL did in the UAL-CAL SLI.
