Certain bases, like PHX, are super senior and a bottom bus captain will be at 20 years. LGA, LAX, MIA are super junior and can be held within a few years. We are retiring something like 7000 pilots in the next 8 years. It could actually be more, I don’t really care that much since I’m gone in 3. We lose 250 Group 4 captains next year, the 777/787/330 captains that are all over 400k per year.



We are in contract negotiations right now. It’s only going to get better here at AA.



Working hard for your paycheck is fine, but getting paid more for working less is mo betta.
