Probably more like 1,200 Captains for 100 aircraft if you include the retirements over the next 10 years but I do understand your angst.

AA has what, around 15k pilots? How many posts about it in the AA forum?.... 2

Fleet plan, 787’s, mergers, buyouts... yada, yada, yada....

FOCUS..... Pay, workrules, scope. Now that we’re gonna be feeding AA flights on narrow body aircraft that AA flies, I suggest our negotiating committee’s STARTING point... the absolute MINIMUM be at AA narrow body rates.... not just hourly.... the total package... and go from there. And let management know that if AA inks a deal better than their current one before we get done with ours, that’ll move the goal posts.

And when/if either group pickets, we show strong support for one another. Airline management ain’t the only ones that can form alliances.

Nailed it! I’m not sure how this will effect us but it does give us an extra inch on leverage handle. We need to do as you say and tie ourselves into AA’s gains on their narrow body fleet. Get ourselves a snap up clause like UAL had.
