Talked to a long time friend of mine last night. We were hired together at USAir in 1989. My friend's son followed in his Dad's footsteps and put in his time at the regionals. He interviewed at AA recently. AA HR called my friend and told him they were hiring his son and would he like to break the news to him? They also let my friend pin his son's wings on. Very classy. They'll be on different equipment (AB vs 737) for the immediate future so won't get to fly together but I'm sure it'll happen in the future. FYI, the son will get 737@LGA to start with. He's going to be one of the youngest pilots at AA, will be able to have a 35-40 year career.
