9am - chief pilot addresses state of the airline:
Key notes:
-Thank you all, cpz performance is fantastic. Best it has been in years. Customers are pleased.

-Attrition to majors and LCCs is phenomenal. Cpz pilots are getting hired. Expecting 40% of compass pilots to move on in 2017.

-cpz has enough applicants to fill new hire classes but not enough meet cpz standards. working on this and currently running classes. would rather run smaller classes than hire poor pilots.

- want to clarify: tired of hearing "losing flying" rumors. Cpz is not losing any flying. We are kicking butt and our performance is great. Our contracts are solid, albeit up for renewal in a few years. Delta just busted butt to get cpz into Seattle and has been helping cpz with the move. Cpz is arguably AA's best performer across the board.

- more captain upgrades. Sorry guys, said the wrong number during the call, didn't mean to cause panic. Cpz captains get hired. upgrading a bare minimum of 12/mo through 2017. More new hires will mean even more upgrades!

- there is a big possiblity of a new PHX crew base. Haven't announced its existence or non-existence because management wants to make sure that it will not be a temporary base that disappears in a year or two. Updates coming SOON.

-Seattle base doubles in size by Jan 2018.
