I am sorry you hate AA. As a whole, most furloughed TWA pilots returned on initial recall. They jumped at the chance. The percentage I quote is for the final batch that waited until the ‘last call’ to decide.
Yes, somewhere between a third and a half of the TWA pilots got stapled. Someone who had 10 years was below a brand new LAA pilot. That meant it was the TWA pilots that got furloughed.
Worse, a 35 year TWA FA was stapled below a brand new LAA FA. But, it is what it is. People have sucked it up and dealt with it . There has been a lot of progress in recent years, pay and otherwise. It is still not perfect, nor is any airline.
