I agree. Hence the rumor of a 200 furlough despite being 1000 overstaffed. We'll see what happens in the spring. There isn't much we can do besides speculate.

This thread has turned into troll bait rumor mill. 200 pilots is the icing on the cake. They’ll lose that many and then some in the time from WARN notices going out to becoming effective.
Not to mention how crew manning ADDED upgrades on this last vacancy after the prelim award.
AA may have lopsided staffing for updated numbers and forecasts, but still not exactly off-roading into a ditch either.
AA’s latest strategy seems to be cautious and careful. A furlough of any number is neither. Reduction in hiring and pruning strategically is in line with what we have heard and seen. This is not the end times. Get real.

yeah, I wouldn't put too much stock into that whole classes starting back up in January thing. Also when compared to UA/DL it tells you how important good leadership is these days when running a company. You could tell Isom was in way over his head from day 1.
Then come January, back to madness in the training department with the XLRs and whatever other deliveries.

Thank you for the helpful information about Family Leave & 3XP to view PBS Awards. Really good to know about likelihood of dropping turns & Transcons. Move to in-base isn’t an option in order to have support from in-laws to care for elementary age kids so the tips on dropping trips is very helpful.

If they need to ditch 200 pilots there are certainly more than 200 willing to not come to work(ZTL) which includes myself.
Not to mention the 900 or so retiring in 2025.
Really what they should do is use the “downturn” to their advantage and get both NB acft into all bases.

huh? It has never changed. If commute is not a factor and you have a choice of course you go to United or Delta. Are you kidding me?
