PS: We are merging with AA in Q5 of 2027
We are getting 220's instead of 170s and 190s to replace the 220's so that we are an all Embraer fleet so that we can super seniority at AA because we are Wholly Owned and current AA pilots will be stapled to the bottom so they can fly 170's out of ORD.
Very clever. I know a few Captains that can't fly their way out of a paper bag, which is far worse, as a new hire at least has inexperience and firehose treatment as a reason. Nobody ever said 90%, he just went with that. I said half, and then 80% was suggested as being "heard". Keeping up with a thread is difficult.
