It was June!. But I think you’re right with your explanation.

June was the month that AA skipped hiring.

There were 5 classes in May and August (based on how the Wednesdays fell) and the classes in May, July, and August were substantially larger than the first 4 months of the year.

Here's hoping for continued large classes in November and again in January! AA has said that 2200 per year is the goal, with ~800 replacing those that retire and ~1400 for overall growth.

Can't check the actual data as of now, but off the top of my head it's somewhere around 4 to 6 yrs.

PHL 787 FO was awarded to a March, 2020 hire. Factor in that we weren't hiring for over a year, and you get just over 2 years to hold widebody FO, not 4-6 years.

APA is currently telling new hires at the orientation dinner 3 years. I agree that 4-6 is too long at present hiring rates.

How early before class do these groups get formed? Looking for November 29th new hire class.

As early as someone wants but usually within a week of class you start seeing them posted. Check RST AA FB page if you have FB.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 11:15 PM.
