If AA does hire, be prepared to sit on reserve FOREVER. Bypass pilots numbering in the hundreds will be spilling back over the course of months or years. That is, if we do not stagnate and not recall anyone for a spell. It could get ugly fast.

Might be a good gig for a single guy or gal that wouldn't mind actually living in NYC or MIA. The other good part is that FO pay beats the CA pay at any regional.

If you are married, you may as well file the divorce papers the same day you get the congrats letter from AA HR.

JMO.
