It is my understanding that the 7300 floor applies to nAAtive pilots only, so the couple of thousand pilots on property because of the TWA and Reno mergers do not count toward the 7300 number according to APA. That being said, AMR will likely argue that if the mergers had not happened they would have hired new nAAtives and the 7300 count should be modified. Either way things are going to get very interesting around AA/AE/AX. Do try and duck to avoid mess
