The email from Dave Tatum doesn’t indicate a shortage whatsoever for AA. Now granted he could be blowing smoke to boost hiring at the feeder carriers.
Also, AA considers sim instructors who don’t fly 200+ hrs a yr to be unhireable. I know of many instructors who have apps in that can’t get a call due to “not being current” or “out of aviation”
Gonna be a wild next 10 yrs if the Legacies have to hire anyone and everyone they can get to apply. Makes the 91 and 135 worlds panic.

Not sure if this has been discussed in this post yet or not but I’ve heard that the legacies are trying to get older pilots that only have 2 or 3 years of airline eligibility from corporate departments to fly their MadDogs until they are either aged out or the fleet is retired. Apparently a couple guys in my outfit have been approached by delta. Is this rumor true?

It actually wouldn’t surprise me at all with American. It is virtually impossible to be picked up outside of flow unless you are military. That information is very easy to figure out and I’d be shocked if a lot of people haven’t shifted their focus to other operators who offer a better chance of being picked up.
