Wiz - subject came up this morning from two different sources that had slightly different, but supporting statements -
1. No more of the street interviewing this year. Guy does interviews.
2. Envoy ops memo re:flows. Comment made that about 30 off the street already hired by AA and another 100 off the street expected to hired this year. The remainder recallees (140+) and then flows (320?).
Total was existed to be 590 in 2015. Not sure if that has changed.
If you count the poolies (Sep/Oct/Jan/Feb/Mar/etc interviewees) it's probably just over 100. My guess is they expect to get the addition 100 of the street from the pool.

I thought the comment about October poolies getting called was a typo? As far as I know from the APC posts some of the September guys have been called.
I've been in contact with the October group and the word I got back was that, to the best of the interviewee's knowledge, no one had been called.
So how many Sept guys are ahead of you? IDK. And how many will come to AA? My estimate is the October group is down to 15(?) if not lower. So you've got 25-50 (????)(Sept +15 Oct) ahead of you?

It was a typo. Being an October guy I am aware of only 1 of our October group getting the call and they were in the May 19 class. Of course this is all to the best of my knowledge. As far as numbers remaining in our group, your guess is as good as mine. Probably about 15-20 of us waiting for the word.

I would imagine a good number of the October guys have moved on to other airlines. Given that they were good enough to be hired and it's going on 8 months of sitting in the pool I bet they were offered jobs from the other Legacies.

As others said, I wouldn't wait. The main reason to me is that you aren't really an AA pilot until your first day of class. If some event happened and they CNX Classes for for awhile (think 911) you could loose the CJO.
You will easily be able to mitigate the pain of commuting with Mil leave.
Here are a few positives about LUS. You will make second year pay 2 months earlier, which adds up over your first 12 years. You'll get a DC contribution your first year to your 401K, probably $6 to $9k. By the way, they actually pay you that while you are on mil leave. So if you take a month of mil leave, you'll earn nothing at the airline but still get 5 or $600 in your 401k. Compound the 401k over 30 years and that first year will actually be pretty significant. You'll fly an AB or 190, both are very pilot friendly and easy to fly, plus the training is easy (you definitely do not "build the plane"). The commute from DFW is easy, I recomend PHL over CLT for better QOL.
By the way, I certainly hope they fix the DC issue and LOS for AA guys.

Short answer...I don't know. Any recent LUS hires care to chime in?

Just caught up on the thread. 1 Oct interviewee that just received a class date for 21 Jun. Got a call today that I'll be LUS side. Stoked to be starting after 8 months. Kinda blown away they haven't implemented the new pay scale yet? I'm sure backpay is out of the question?
