I have a buddy who is a new hire at AA and will leave if UA calls him only because Denver is a domicile. But I know guys who left UA and DL for AA too so it's a wash really.

I think someone in crew planning is getting concerned that the compensation gap might put AA behind the 8-ball in the coming years regarding staffing...so better to head the problem off now than to have Section 6 going on as the retirements really take off...

Also, we are an extremely old group. Many here have met the number they need to retire. The optimizer is literally exhausting guys. I think
Management is realizing if they don't do something, Captains may just retire. Early retirements cost a lot more than a new hire leaving within a few years of getting hired. I would expect to see improved work rules soon...

I'm really hoping to see a calendar day/long rig improvement in the next couple months. I'm guessing it will be announced mid summer to be implemented in the fall. Gotta keep those efficient(for the company) work rules in place during the high season lol.

I think DP and his group knew at some point they'd have to throw us a bone, the smallest necessary to keep things relatively stable. This will buy him some time but not much more. Unlike a previous post, I do not think most guys will retire early because they are financially in no position to do so. I also think 8% is too little too late. We are not at the industry standard and 2020 is too far away. So if AA is competing for passengers and pilots, they need to do much better IMO.
