With the LCC's starting to hire FO's with restricted ATP mins starting at around $70 an hour first year up to about $110 the next, AA needs to do something drastic to keep the lights on at the wholly owneds.

Whether or not they will, is the big question none of us have the answer to yet.

If they don't do something big however i don't see how we don't keep bleeding pilots until we can't operate anymore.
