I think AA didn't hire as much as DL over the last few years because AA had about 1000 pilots on furlough that were bypassing recall. It wasn't until last year that they had a firm number on how many of them were returning. We've been hiring at a pretty good pace since then. Add in displacements in PHX, 767 fleet shrinking, and MD-80 fleet going away and there are a lot of training events going on. We also just recently got on a single seniority list and people bidding other bases/equipment. They've also been moving planes around, such as 777 downsizing in LAX and 787 increasing.
