—Traditionalists are known as the "silent generation" because children of this era were expected to be seen and not heard. They're those who were born between 1927 and 1946, and they average in age from 75 to 80 years old in 2018–

Not satire, the silent generation was the most locked-down group, among the first to get vaccinated, and they're retired. So why not book a flight now after being on house arrest for a year?

Will AA go bankrupt anytime soon? Probably not. But if I were a prospective new hire, I'd steer far clear of coming here vs pretty much any other major, LCC, or ULCC. Never would have said that a year ago, unfortunately our management is too arrogant to realize that they're going to have a huge problem recruiting in the future for both here and the WO's, as the flow is essentially worthless.

Their financials and leadership should have you worried. Again, I don't believe bankruptcy is in our near term future, however we have a worse contract than pretty much any other major, LCC, or ULCC. That won't be changing anytime soon as even though we are in Section 6 negotiations, I'd say we are 5-10 years away from getting out from under our bankruptcy era contract. The only thing AA has going for it is domicile and retirements, the latter of which could go away under a merger with a younger airline. I won't really go into leadership, because we don't have any.

They won’t have a problem with recruiting here. If you can make 200k you second/third year you’ll always have a line of people.
