With 65% of AA Pilots over 54 years of age, 7-8 year 757 Captains will be the Norm in the coming years. Or stay Senior on the A350 as an FO. If I was in my late 20's, AA would be the place to go. Hands Down. It will be an awesome career. It's all timing and catching the wave.

How about "AA plus a nickel"?
OR, match AA, and give us a $5 per credit hour night over ride!
How about holiday pay for the junior guys? You want a doctor's note for being sick on a certain holiday, fine, pay us draft pay for any trip that touches the holiday, the day before, or the day after! No draft, no doctor's not required, it's that simple!
The more the company delays, the more I expect out of my NC!

I heard that during bad wx FDX can extend your crew duty day. If that's true, do you guys get extra pay for and if no why not.

Hourly rate is a snapshot. Total compensation is the whole picture.
Rate's nice, but you'd have to pay even more to get me to accept the new AA work rules and compensation package compared to our existing contract.
Simplest example is a weekend layover trip for Fedex is in the 12-18 CH range, new work rules for AA puts it in the 8-12 Range because mgt just doesn't want to pay pilots to sit on their keisters in the field

Totally agree. However, by taking a 'signing bonus', we probably lost the chance to get true retroactive pay in the future. I might be wrong, and I hope that I am, but I have a feeling that we will never receive true back pay for the delay that we are experiencing. Unless, of course, we stay united in our attempts to get a truly fair contract.
However, I do like the catch phrase, "Another day of retro pay".
Time will tell......
