We are being metered to 30 pilots per month, when contractually we are supposed to be allotted 50% of all new hire slots at American Airlines. We have only sent 60 flow through pilots this year when we should've sent 70. As of right now 59.5% of all new hires at American have been street hires. 40% of our entire pilot group is sitting on reserve, all personal vacation days are being denied as well as all requests to drop partial or full trips. The company argues that they do not have to make it whole until the end of the year. Meanwhile, an increasing percentage of envoy pilots lose seniority every month to new hires. While the company meters pilots needlessly, when in all reality we are ridiculously over staffed and could actually afford to furlough pilots which contractually would allow us one hundred percent of all the slots at American Airlines.
