Snapshot of June. Line holder might be *the* junior line holder. Zero guarantee of being a line holder if guys ahead, who bid reserve, decide to bid a line instead of rsv.

LAX and LGA 320 have the most line holders at at the one year mark.

Planned retirements in the last two years was 697(+/-)(2014 projection). Next two years is 1075 (2014 data). So advancement might come quicker(375 numbers = just under 12 months?) depending upon how guys on property shift to different bid statuses/bases.

Delta.

1 year...717/MD88 CA reserve / 2-year landholder

I'm just speechless. We already pay management the most, can't we just poach DL's management?

Thank you for this info.

Delta started a big hiring surge three + years prior to American. And I think their contract pays premium differently than American's. So it's difficult to make a direct comparison. There may be Delta pilots giving up CA slots to bid FO lines that pay more with less work. Maybe in 4 years with over 2000 retirements and a new contract the landscape at AA will look different. Or, the union and work force will vote for 10 more years of the same.

DL hired a handful in 2010. Airways started hiring in 11. AA started fall 13 and DL started hiring agin in late 13/early 14. So they actually started hiring after AA.

True but delta has been hiring in larger numbers. We have just started the large continuous hiring.

Airways hired in 2007 and 2008 also

Not very many. Maybe 100 guys from then are still here.

If we hired and grew like DL we'd have 17,000 pilots on our list.

Yes,

I was Jan 14 and am approaching 2k below me. Buddy of mine at DAL was a late 2014 with well over 3k below him.

Part of that is furlough returnees at AA, part that they were hiring a lot more.
