AA gives flying and takes it away… every month depending on market and staffing conditions. 5.5 year Captains were stuck in reserve this fall when AA cut Piedmonts flying due to inability to staff aircraft, which contributed to Sim instructors being booted back to the line so they had more captains and focusing on hiring DECs and putting FO training on the back burner.
