Yeah, I'm sure you talk to the AA sim instructors over there all the time being at Mesa and having no access to them. Lol
We actually do talk with them all the time, since some of our sims and briefing rooms are still right next to theirs in the same AA flight academy building for years and we regularly chat in the hallways or break room and most of us have many friends there. I was just was sitting in the 787 sim recently getting to do a non motion demo when one of them in the hallway invited me too after my sim session ended and we were talking in the hall. Flow through is always talked about. Before we moved buildings recently, we shared the same classroom spaces with them at the AA flight Academy forever. Obviously we know many of these people very well. Our guys have been doing exceptionally well at AA, they have been in the industry for many years, and have spent 15 years+ in one of the most thorough 121 training programs out there plus already working for this company for so many years. It makes the transition much easier. We don't have as much new to learn as people hired off the street since we already use a lot of the same systems as AA as well.
There was a couple super senior 30yr Eagle idiots when the flow first started back up in 2010 that didn't bother to study when they went over and a couple of our troublemakers that ALPA kept getting their jobs back. They are history now though. The other 870+ have done great and the instructors claim they love having the majority of ex eagle guys. It makes their life easier. Their words.
