March 2025 Vacancy Announcement
So, quick question - the last page (long-range forecast) shows the total number of FOs and CAs they expect to have on property (by Dec 2025). Is that number lower than the number of active pilots we have now? Yes, I know, 3XP - but that shows the most junior pilot around 16,0XX seniory number (as of July 2024 if I'm not mistaken). That doesn't account for long term leave, mil leaves, etc., so wonder if the "long-range forecast" number accounts for that or not. In other words, retirements will cause the number of pilots to drop well below the "long-range forecast" in my opinion, but what do y'all think?

It appears DFW has hit max usage. Very few vacancies.

That far out means nothing. They really haven't a clue what we need. XLR comes in November. 3 this year 16 next year. I don't see a bump in numbers in PHL, LGA, or LAX to support that many planes. I hear the seats are going to slow down the actual first flight date. Production back up. They cost $70,000 each. Ouch.

The corporate office is there though and they can see the airport out of the windows. I'm not sure they realize we have other hubs. They gave LA to Southwest and the Northeast to JetBlue. Probably give the Northwest to Alaska soon.

There are some remarks amongst our peers that AA may be shrinking next year, or at least not hiring/upgrading with attrition. Anyone here believe this?
And with the small amount of CA upgrades, upgrade time may climb to 3-5 years?
