Reno came into existence around the time AA furloughed. They ended up going on the list December 1998. Behind a handful of new hires that were hired starting in the spring of 1998. If they had been given DOH, it would have put them in after the 93 hires and before the few hundred hired in 1998.
They sit now as fairly senior wide-body 767 FO positions, 777 FO positions as well. They complained that they were not given their seats, in other words feathered into a seniority list above their actual hire dates at Reno.
At the time a 12 year 727 FE made more than their MD-80 Captains on an hourly basis..
Please spare me they were screwed crap. I know 2 of them personally that had their apps in with AA when this went down. They are both pretty happy, at least they were till this place went to where it is now.

I have a relative that was at Reno. He is quite happy with the integration. Got a big pay bump. Move back to his home town. It was all good the first few yrs until 9/11. Never been the same sense. I think that goes for everybody. Not withstanding he still a fairly senior 767 Fo. Good sked.
