Aside from a few hundred flowthroughs (35 this summer and the other 250 or so, maybe in 1-3 years) all those slots are below the most junior AA furloughee. For any real benefit for either AA pilots or Eagle pilots, AA will have to start inviting both groups back to the party in substantial numbers.

I guess you could say AA pilots took a hit of having a few hundred flowthroughs come at some point before street furloughees, but considering they've got 9000 pilots, it's really a bump in the road. The real benefit or lack therof will be AA growth or lack therof and that's what should be the goal.

With AA growth everyone wins.
