UAL pilot here… Former AA WO, and former AA employee before flying.

AA has the industry leading non-rev policy/JS policy hands down….

Had the DL bennies back in the day and I can’t tell you how many times I thought I was getting on a flight home only to have 20 people list ahead of me 2-3 hours before departure time.

Agreed!, but no, you still have people that based just on their personal experience, have to sh*t on the entire airline and call out the pilot group……

Looks like thumper took a thumping.

And how would that work exactly? A scale B scale on pay? AA can't only hire regional folks when the competition still uses the regional model.

Look at college football and those who do not utilize the transfer portal and those that do. The ones that do are the ones who are in the playoffs.

I never said anything about it working. I was being a little sarcastic about people b******g about the company. If we made all regionals mainline, then there wouldn’t be an issue with JS on Eagle or Eagles non-reving on mainline.

But since you asked how it would work- well I would just bring everyone over now. When they flow over, they flow to the bottom of the seniority list. So just staple the entire lot to the bottom now- make everyone mainline. We already have “small narrow body” as a pay band in our contract. That’s what they would get paid. To haell with those that don’t want to come over/lose their seniority/give up positions at work. Keep all the 195s- remove Eagle from the livery.

Yes, I know -scope. But we are talking hypotheticals here.

So you have apps in at Delta and United?

Dude was already turned down by them, even after slaving away for 5 years at Endeavor.

If anything deserves attention, it’s our inability to use cabin jumpseats. Total 🐴💩, and I don’t even commute.

That's industry norm as far as I know, not AAL only problem.

If it’s not occupied by a DAL FA, DAL pilots are authorized to occupy FA jumpseats, on both domestic and international flights.

Curious: what happens at AA when you list for an AA flight and then shortly before departure an IROP hits and you’re forced to change your listing to another flight. Do you keep your original “seniority” you had on the standby list for the TU flight or do you get forced to the bottom of the new flight you list for?
