Guess what....they were still there in 2011. This is worse then 9/11, plus AA just shrunk their retirement numbers by offering the early outs. Add that to them parking 3 fleets and possible furloughs you can start to add the dots that AA won't be hiring for some time, a long time. Welcome to the the new generation of the loss decade.
This is not worse than 9/11, I don't know why people keep parroting that. This is looking like a V shaped recovery more and more every day. The retirement numbers were reduced by about 5%. With the time lost not hiring it is a non factor. It'll be a year delay or so.
