Just curious how that works? When it comes time to bid equipment, are they separated? Do the AA/US pilots have to bid their respective companies bases and equip? Say a pilot hired on the US side lives in MIA, could they bid the 76 in MIA on the AA side?

There is no cross bidding. The Airways new hires in class are being separated from the AA new hires today to bid for aircraft and base assignments. This combines class is just to get the new hires at Airways familiar with the AA side of things. The airways new hires leave tomorrow to go home and resume their Indoc in PHX starting June 9.

I guess the million dollar question: How does relative seniority work? AA is end of training; I assume US is DOH. Is that accurate? If so, looks like US would get a few months of seniority to a new AA guy.

That is a good question now that everyone is apparently starting on the same day.

US guys hired in July or August would be ahead of the AA guys hired today *IF* you believe that the SLI won't adjust for the difference in how seniority numbers are generated.
Anyone seriously believe an August US newhire is going ahead of a June 3rd AA newhire???

For both AA/US newhires, utilize hire date for SLI purposes. Make it fair for all the newhires on both sides. Who can argue with that? Let's get thru this SLI with the least amount of drama so we can all move on with what will be an amazing career.

What's the big deal? AA should start to give out seniority #s 1st day of indoc like every other airline. AA, give me a reason why this isn't a good idea? Keep it simple. Again, this makes so much more sense and is simpler than their current system.
