I'm guessing sitting at home or on a beach I really don't know, is this a trick question? Maybe you have more info I do not, I'm curious as it might effect me too. I don't know anything about displacements here.

I am not going to speculate, like you are doing here. I would appreciate someone who knows share some insight.

Further, if AA paid them to sit at home with no slots to fly for which they were qualified, what was AAs rationale? Does that make any sense? That is a serious question.

Fleet/bid status closure, or opening bid statuses, can frequently give guys more than the usual amount of time off. It can take several months to sort it out. Nothing new under the sun. If the company screws up the Manning/training matrix several guys will be the big winners and get several weeks, or months, off.

Did you guys get any kind of pay increase January 1? Is the payscale on the APC airline profile page current?

Is it true that AA doesn’t pay the %16 DC to your 401k the first year?

Someone will be along shortly to correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure you are correct. Year 2 pay also happens at around the 14 month mark, not the 1 year mark.

If you are a flow through then it starts day one. Anyone off the street waits until year 2.
