job cuts
It seems ironic that just a few months ago the company was complaining about the shortage of pilots because of the high retirements. The selfish pilots that wanted to hold on to their pensions instead of donating years of hard work to management.
400 should be very easy to achieve just offer the same deal as before the bankruptcy and bingo hundreds will volunteer to go.

News reports said that Eagle was getting their own "briefing" just like the American one. I'm sure that information will come out as well.

AMR MGT will be coming to APA shortly for massive concessions. The Targeted 400 pilots will be a bargaining chip. This is right out of the MGT negotiating Manual.
Ask the East USair, fNWA and UAL pilots what their Managements did during their BK reorganization.

*check this site out and see the proposal to APA, AMR made this information public as it was being presented to the unions yesterday, while the AE unions were told, "you can't talk about it".
