When Parker first started wooing the AA pilots, didn't he promise them a seven-year fence?

Did that ever make it into writing in the final MOU?

If so, that would suggest that any AA aircraft put into a US base (like the -800 into PHL example above) would have to be flown by AA pilots, right? And vice versa.

I suppose the work-around would be to just have AA pilots from existing AA domiciles RON in the US bases from which those AA aircraft would operate.

Even before any fences exist, seems to me like planes are going to start moving around, with their respective pilots flying them. Isn't that whats going on at United right now?

"Within six months, the two hope to start moving their planes around, matching the size of the plane with the demand on a route."

NO fences at all.

There will be widebody fences.

Probably wide body only. I'm pretty sure that's what Delta and Northwest did, fenced the 747, 777 and 330.

I don't think they fenced the 330. Only the 747 and 777.

747 and 777 only.

I heard theres going to be a PHL 320 base staffed with west crews.

Airbuses in LA! My hope anyway :p
