AA Recalls, Hiring and Retirements
So AMR is claiming a shortage of pilots "due to sick calls and retirements" resulting in the reduction of flight schedules. What is the prospect of hiring? Are furloughees actively returning or even being called back?
Not much AMR news among all the DL and UA stuff.

Everything is on hold now pending the judge's decision on Friday along with the company's "best and final" offer being considered by the APA BOD.
Yes the company is extremely short on pilots on most fleets and 100+ retirements on 7/1 won't help matters. If anything it will reduce or maybe even nullify any possible furloughs planned for the inevitable increase in hours we'll be working under the new contract.

It's a reasonable guess based on the # of lock-ins for 7/1, along with the fact that the B fund look-back will go away with the judge's ruling (if he rules this Friday.) We do have a pilot who runs an investment business on the side who has accurately predicted every retirement month so far, according to him we should be between 100 and 200 possible retirements on 7/1.
