Actually, the AA mechanics fought the hard fight and have better scope than the other legacy mechanics. Just look at those huge hangers across from the terminal at MIA with southwest, delta and United planes. That’s why they fought so hard on their scope.

Why don't you ask old timers at LAA what they think about cheap engine overhaul on the Mad Dog. They lost like 10 engines if I remember correctly. Some of them literally left the aircraft.

Going for cheap and losing lots money. History repeats itself at AA.

During normal times (pre covid) what could one expect to credit a month on reserve as WB FO? Would it be realistic to get a trip or two of OG to get into the high 90s or low 100s if trying to pick up? Or are you mostly going to just get min guarantee each month realistically? Same question for NB FO reserve? Thanks!

I think the only time guys got OG was a late night diversion or a weather event

Are you allowed to pick up a straight time trip in open time to add to your credit when on reserve? If so, are you allowed to pick up out of base? (Such as a PHL 787 FO picking up a NRT trip out of DFW if it was in open time?)

No straight pickup for reserves. Have to be awarded OG or Premium

Ok.Thanks! Could you request or be awarded OG out of base while on reserve or is that not allowed?

The laser focus on the 787 cracks me up

Have you guys heard rumors if they are going to stay the course with the 78 or switch out for bus products?

No talk of bringing back or buying new heavy Airbus
