Commuting
 
The US Airways side will have significantly more attrition in the next few years.

Is that from retirements or people leaving to other airlines?

My guess is end of next year.

Retirements. It's not a large number, but a large percentage.

I concur all due to retirements. I haven't heard of anyone mentioning leaving that is here, even that have no chance to be home based. The amount of movement is unreal. I was hired in aug of 2013, move on average 10-15 numbers a month up the 190 list. Presently only a couple people short of holding a secondary on the small bus in philly. It's incredibly fast.

Is there any advantage for going with US vs AA in the long run? Post merger new hires should be integrated by DOH, right? Just go with the first that offers a class date?

I don't think that was a serious question.


For those wondering, here are the data for the next five years*:

Legacy AA (Total Pilots = 9,600)
Retirements / Total since 2014 / Percent of list
2014 83 83 1%
2015 112 195 2%
2016 135 330 3%
2017 190 520 5%
2018 300 820 9%



Legacy US (Total Pilots = 5,159)
Retirements / Total since 2014 / Percent of list
2014 171 171 3%
2015 173 344 7%
2016 206 550 11%
2017 234 784 15%
2018 262 1046 20%

Get onboard. DOH is typical for post merger newhires.

I'm on the 190 hired in oct sat short call reserve, Dec-Feb, March and April have been long call lines, should hold a secondary line by June. But the previous posters are right about only getting about 7-8 days a month at home due to the fact that I have to come in the night before since there are only 2 flts a day from slc to phl. All a means to an end. Since oct there's already over 300 people under me. Give it a couple years and you'll be able to be based where ever you want.
