I don't know how long the Comair upgrade is running right now and what the chances are that they will even be in business in 2 years? Mabye the AA recalls will bring the Eagle upgrade time down to 4-5 years?
Sir,
I doubt the AA recalls will do anything to help the movement at AA for sometime because of the 3000 furloughed AA pilots. I don't know how the flow back worked, but I do know this: Some of the pilots furloughed from AA went directly into the left seat of an RJ at Eagle. How that effects the recall, I don't know. Do they have to get the 2900 off the street back first, or are the flow back guys at Eagle considered part of the 3000. It's a complicated issue.
A lot of guys are saying that people won't go back to AA. I beg to differ. Let the recalls start and I don't think AMR will have any problems filling seats at the Academy.
Also, I didn't say make a lateral move for 121 time. If I did, I apologize. I meant make the lateral move for PIC.
