This thread has turned into troll bait rumor mill. 200 pilots is the icing on the cake. They’ll lose that many and then some in the time from WARN notices going out to becoming effective.

Not to mention how crew manning ADDED upgrades on this last vacancy after the prelim award.

AA may have lopsided staffing for updated numbers and forecasts, but still not exactly off-roading into a ditch either.

AA’s latest strategy seems to be cautious and careful. A furlough of any number is neither. Reduction in hiring and pruning strategically is in line with what we have heard and seen. This is not the end times. Get real.
