I'm was waiting for a class date at UAL. But it's important to time my exit and entrance to the next step in my career. UAL seems to be unorganized and unreliable. Not feeling it anymore and don't want to chance getting boned. Is AA likely to stop hiring any time soon? If you get a Class Date at AA is it pretty solid?

That will be even less flying.

I wasn’t sure how the company would react to the virus panic, but based on the August vacancy and forecasts, 787 staffing is increasing for the foreseeable future. New routes to New Zealand, India, and Tel Aviv start later this year so I guess the company is taking the long view, for now. That’s good.

Side note: I don’t miss Scott Kirby at all. It’s just a shame they had to pay him to leave.

Personally I've only seen full flights domestically, though YMMV

By this time next month all this panic will be over and fake news will be talking about a new crisis.

Can you imagine that meeting:

"Hey let's take the runner up at our competition and put him in charge of our company?"

New Mission Statement: Second Place is good enough.

FWIW I happened across a quote from IAG's either outgoing or incoming CEO the other day. Paraphrased, they basically said in past virus scares they've cut capacity quickly and deeply only to not be positioned to take advantage of the increased demand following the event.

I'm trying to be somewhat optimistic and hope Parker is talking to our int'l folks and coordinating schedule changes with this in mind.

Kirby is the best network guy in the world with a personal vendetta against AA. I’d take Kirby over DUI Doug any day. Neither one is the friend of the pilot.
