When did AA stop hiring in the early 90's? I am thinking around or just after The Persian Gulf War. 1990-1991.... I think there may have even been furloughs during that time.
Didn't Reno get date of hire?
Not trying to be a wise AAss, just trying to figure it out.
X Rated, very good points you made!
Here's what I found.
A quick look at the Seniority list shows last AA hire in 26 APR 93. Hiring resumed 27MAR 98 and through 14DEC 98, the Reno Air thing happened according to friends and what I read Nov. 98. The Reno Air pilots all were stapled to the bottom of the AA seniority list on Feb 19 1999.
The most senior Reno Air Captains hire date was JAN 92.
I added up the Reno Air pilots. They were all stapled behind 596 AA new hires in 1998. A look at the seniority lists shows the last Reno Air pilot hired beginning of 1998. So the Reno pilots go from 1992-1998.
According to the seniority list Reno got date of hire for longevity pay the same as TWA. A phone call confirmed the last Reno Air CA was displaced to FO in DEC 99.
