eaglefly you aren't worth the waste of time or the waste of breath which is why I stopped entertaining your rants a long time ago.

But I'm going to ask you ONE SIMPLE question and see if you can answer it without being a blowhard (doubtful)...so here goes:

Not counting the E-190, at year 2 pay how much does an FO at AA make per year? Go ahead and use the lowest pay scale which is the Airbus/737.

And if you worked here-which you don't-you would know there are roughly 400 Captains in the 824 left to flow. At a rate of 30/month-which is on the low end-that would be almost all of them gone by this time next year.

An extension of the point above is this: There are roughly 400 pilots between the most junior current Captain and the 2011 new hires. Maybe less, I haven't checked in a while. Why is the 2011 new hires important? Because they are the last big group of pilots hired. Once they begin to upgrade anyone after them will follow quickly behind.

If by this time next year 360 Captains have flowed that means that the first batch of 2011 hires will be upgrading. The relatively small group of pilots hired after 2011 will be next as pilots continue to flow.

I'm sure you will pull all kinds of hypotheticals out of thin air to explain why none of that will happen. Of course you know more than anyone including AAG what will happen. This whole thing is their plan but you claim to know more than they do that it won't work.

Ok...sure, eaglefly. Throw a couple of your favorite smiley faces on your next post and tell us all how horrible things are going at a company you don't work for.
