I would not go that far. Airlines have been known to waste money as people get caught in the layers of middle management. I will take it as an encouraging sign though.

If this is true, how is this thread not blowing up? To be sure, this is confirmed?

Confirmed.

Memo from the company to the March 17 class

Hello and happy Wednesday! Hope you all are doing well and staying healthy. Fingers crossed that we are seeing a light at the end of this tunnel! We have some new information for you on bidding your base and fleet. We don’t yet have all the details, but we wanted to share what we do know.

Bidding – Vacancy Run, Initial Assignment and Training
To help us place you where you will most be needed, the decision was made to not include this class in the September 2020 Vacancy Run, and to instead, have you all bid for your base and fleet once the vacancy award is complete. The base and fleet bidding will be accomplished virtually, similar to the way the Benefits and Pay briefing was conducted. I don’t believe I will have the bid options for the class until after the vacancy award is finalized, but we will send them out as soon as we receive them.

We are still trying to figure out how we are going to conduct your Orientation and Basic Indoc, given the group size limitations that are currently in place. We know that it will look and feel different than it would have pre-pandemic. For planning purposes, we expect to begin bringing you in for training in mid-summer – details to be determined.

I have had my gripes about AA in the past. That said I am proud of how AA treated this class.

I said something to this effect on some other thread, but American Airlines (AA) has definitely bought some goodwill with me recently.

(There’s a subtle joke in my post also.)
