Some things for the 244 flows to consider. You will not be able to choose your equipment and base. Most of the 28 Feb furloughed pilots were S80 f/os in STL, so that might require the first 35 pilots. You will profer based on what AA shows available. The chance of DFW and ORD is zero. Most likely LGA, MIA and STL. There is a possiblilty of the 767, S80 in LGA, 767 and 737 in MIA and the S80 in STL. In STL all non TWA pilots bid behind the TWA pilots for a monthly schedule. You will be on reserve in STL for a long time. Reserve guarantee is 73 hrs. Some pilots are flown over guar, but nothing over 85 hrs is allowed. You have little control of how much you fly because AA tries to keep all reserve pilots equal in time. STL has only limited nonstops, making a fun 2 leg commute for many.
I am happy nobody is forced into doing something they don't want to. Now can you AE pilots do what is right and allow any flowbacks still at AE, to fly Captain?
