Completely agree, I was smoking some serious crack with my predictions.

I’ll be just fine with my tray table and turns!

That remains to be seen once the awards are published.

most likely. This bid shows a little over staffed but summer 22 will be short. A WAG is fall hiring for summer 22 and the onslaught of retirements.

I think you’ll really be able to see an answer to the hiring question more clearly once we train all our current pilots. I think there’s still 500 (?) or so pilots that haven’t heard about a return to active status yet, right? And no one brought back has been trained yet. Still, positive news for people waiting

There are also quite a few who got furlough jitters and dropped military leave / PLA's for other more stable (interum) jobs and will not be coming back anytime soon.

Someone on here said they heard management mention hiring in the fall. Quite possible. Its true we've retired several fleets and are a smaller carrier today. However something that seems to get ignored here is that we are currently continuing to take deliveries of 737Max's, 321NX's, and 787s as replacements. As long as a recovery continues and these planes have somewhere to fly profitably, AA pilots will be better off going forward. group 3 paying 75/76 replaced with group 4 paying 787s. Group 1 paying E190 replaced with group 2 paying max/nx. In a few years time AAL could easily return to pre-COVID size. We have the orders to do it.

I think you are about right. For all the big 4 PAX, there will be hiring ramping up fallish 21 and full blown in 22.

For AA, mandatory retirement and early retirements about balances with the planes retired. When all the parked metal come back, will need all those furloughed, especially considering ongoing mandatory retirements. Then with deliveries, look for big hiring in 22.

At least that is what my crystal ball is saying.
