AA is the only company left that hasn't recalled a single pilot since 9-11, and they have the most on furlough-----by far (2,890).
They had plans to increase int'l (high-yield) flying this summer, but when they were told 300-400 pilots would have to be recalled to do this extra flying, AA decided instead to cancel these flights, return the revenue they had already collected and give that market share or profitability to their competitors.
Aren't they generous?
