Well, there seems to be an absence of a certain ornithological piece.
A headline regarding mass awareness of a certain avian variety.
Oh have you not heard? It was my understanding that everyone had heard....

If 1300 new bodies join us next year, then roughly 650 will be new hires - again by your definition (which is complete fantasy, btw, because last I checked, none of the pilots employed by the wholly owned carriers were actually employees of AA until (get this) they were hired by AA, so by definition, they are ALL new hires.)
You apparently have a problem with Flows, it seems.

Anyone seen a green trip lately? Does that still exist?

With flows they are acquiring probably 900-1000. That means AA is actually hiring 300-400, at most. Good numbers, but AA has guaranteed “meat in the seat” in every class. They aren’t sweating anything but training demands. Thus giving no real leverage to the pilot group. I don’t get excited about this kind of news, except from a seniority standpoint. Now if AA had to actually hire 1300, that would be something.
