There are red eyes flown from IAD and they are frequently in open time. DCA is now a dual base IAD/DCA.

He's in the CLT school house. I'm pretty sure we're not privy to the information that comes out of The AAcademy.

Latest Crew News matches previous guidance - 500-600 new hires next year at AA. Works out to 40-50 a month.

Required flows? -

AE's 20/month
PSA is 8/month

If that's correct it leaves the potential for 12-22 OTS.

I'd buy those numbers. Let's hope it's something!

Keeping my fingers crossed. I assume they will have a few classes every month starting in Jan? It would be nice to return from my deployment directly into a class.

Any thoughts on when there'd be opportunities to get PHL right out of class on anything else besides the 190? Is PHL jr overall?

Tanker -

First question - who knows? On the AA side there have been various pushes into MIA on the 767, 320, 737, DFW on the S80, and JFK on the 737 and 320(??). No one knows until after the fact what the last drop was. Shoot, with the demand for bodies in LAX I wouldn't be stunned if we had new hires going into the 320 in LAX.

Second question - from reading posts it appears that PHL is the junior base. Post NIC/SLI resolution everything is subject to change. But history would indicate that PHL probably stays fairly junior.

Sliceback, do you know if the demand for bodies in LAX is due to growth or attrition? My guess is growth but I don't know anything.
