Not sure why the flow through isn’t better, but my guess is that AA can’t replace the WO pilots fast enough, so they don’t want to cannibalize their own pilot group. Its almost unthinkable that they’d want to hire ANY of the WO pilots to AA since its causing unintended consequences.
Yup. PSA CA here. Latest numbers said 52 pilots lost in Dec. 10 flowed to AA, zero went to AA outside of the flow...and 42 went elsewhere.
