No. Recalled pilots show up Thursday. "New Hires" show up today. I guess they have a coupe of days of paperwork, etc. that they have to complete that recalled pilots don't.

As I said before I don't have any inside information that this is the reason. It's pure reasoning on my part.

All the tea leaves indicate the Company and Union believe it may be coming soon as well.

The Company loaded all pilots last week into a single database (Saul's post that his new number was on AA pilots). The union has called for a Special Board meeting for the third week of September. Any idea why they did that?

As I said it's a guess, but based on the over under I would bet on that timeframe right now. I may be wrong but I cannot conclude any other reason for the delay.

I agree with your logic. Also, I believe it was Svergin who prophesized that we would know the list would soon be released once a union board meeting was called, as occurred at UAL/CAL. Also, with Oct 1st approaching, the possible release window has shrunk to the next 24 days, assuming they want a list pre-Single FOS.

Other than that, I'm out of "guesses".

I still am baffled as to why they would delay the list for 15,000 pilots just to please a handful of Letter T pilots. I think it's ridiculous. I don't even have much of a dog in the fight but I'm just thinking out loud (electronically).

Still, I don't know each individual on an anonymous web board well enough to know if they actually have threatened to cross, have crossed - might would cross. And there's plenty of union haters here who would not join a union at all if they could get away with it. I just think too many people throw the term "scab" around in general- and I did say not only this thread. I have been complaining about it for years.
