Waiting for AA to determine their fleet size going forward before any potential extension - but “we think we remain important”. No mention of downsizing the 900 to 67 seats this time. At least Mesa is doing their part to meet scope.

The mentioned no furloughs but without a PSP extension from the government we are relying on REDUCED CREDIT - if pilots don’t give on that then expect the furloughs and downgrades. It was a message both to labor and the government. We might make it to January but once the 900s start to go the furloughs are coming. There’s some myopia in this pilot group thinking that if you are on the united side you’ll be ok. Not so. If I get displaced from my CRJ I’ll go to the Ejet as a CA and cause a downgrade potentially. That’s how seniority works. We need to do something on the AA side of the house or we are all in deep **** come 2022.
