Buzz, completely get it...my point was that the decision to outsource, downsize and rebasing all comes from the same source, the company via marketing and the bean counters that can justify just about any business case that is needed.

American Airlines closes San Francisco pilot baseOctober 17, 2011



American Airlines is closing its pilot base in San Francisco, because of a “critical” pilot shortage stemming from retirements, according to the Dallas Morning News.
An American official said the recent surge in pilot retirements has left the company’s manning levels critically short to the detriment of its schedule reliability.
“The current economic environment also leaves us faced with making tough choices about where and how we spend our money, and this closure will save significant reserve and management cost.”
American has approximately 270 pilots based in San Francisco, the company said. The change will mean that pilots who live in the area will have to commute to one of American’s other bases to begin their assignments.
American has had 240 pilots retire since the end of August, and 368 this year, compared to an average of 11 per month last year, the story said.
American said it will reduce capacity by 3% in the fourth quarter, and may lay off some workers in the process.
