What advantage is gained for AA pilots to "increase flow" at the WOs?
What is the disadvantage for AA pilots to staple the WOs to the bottom of the seniority list?
1. What you can negotiate.
2. For the airline no more need to throw money at them and cost savings from eliminating duplicate companies to do the same job. For the pilots more of a buffer for the next furlough and more seats to upgrade into.
3.. For the airline recruiting will be hard when you're offering candidates right seat in an RJ and United is offering right seat in a 787/777. For the pilots only bringing in the undesirable regional lifers with bad records who have been turned down by every airline and having to fly with them.
