Reminds me of a Delta Captain who retired a few years ago after 43 years at Delta who remembered that he applied to Delta only after being turned down by Eastern (the only company he wanted to work for) and sulking in disbelief for 6 months before he got over his astonishment of not being hired by Eastern.

Best of luck, and hope you find a company for the next 43 years to hang your hat (unless you go to a company where hats aren't required).

Looks I'm getting roasted on here and rightfully so. I didn't clarify. I already work at another "legacy" but AA is one airline that would greatly improve my quality of life with regards to not having to commute anymore. That's what I meant by only wanting to work their.

Thx for all the responses.

Thanks for all the encouraging messages. It reassures me of what I already knew that while not perfect AA is a great company to spend the rest of my aviation career at. I'm looking forward to working with all of you in the near future! So here's a question. After the SLI happens do you guys think MIA will remain a junior base?

Yes. It's been junior for decades. The w/b flying, mostly Deep South, is part of the reason.

We don't really have a super-senior base anymore. SEA was in the rafters when we had it, and (the late great) SFO, LAX, and ORD have had their moments, but with the movement we've had in the last few years and the anticipated movement in the future, none of the LAA bases should be out of reach for more than a few months for new-hires.

Can't speak about the LUS bases, and with the SLI things may change a bit, but we're all mostly old farts now, and whichever domicile is your dream base will likely be open to you pretty quickly.

All predicated on continued hiring of course, no matter how weak or strong.

Ditto for the LUS bases. CLT is most senior, but a new hire could probably get into the base within a year. DCA and PHL, no problem! PHX is currently like CLT, but a lot of the West pilots may move around the system...but I imagine a new hire could probably get into PHX within a year.

I'm originally form the West Coast US. I was bored as S80 FO in LAX. I went to the MIA767I in early 2001.
I've loved it. The experiences! You can live on the water inexpensively. Until 2003 all of our trips were 1-1 carib and Deep South. Since then the carib bid package is busy. We have 9 leg 3 day trips, 11 leg 4 day trips and a few 4 leg day trips.
I've enjoyed my whole time here in MIA.


I do everything I can to check on J/S and commuters. BUT, I do not feel sorry for people who choose to commute.
