Supposedly the rumor is not from recruitment but from the training department. Someone claimed they have over 1,000 training events behind schedule. I have absolutely no information beyond those anonymous posts. Just dreading the idea of it being true.

I've mentioned this could happen a few months ago. I asked if AA can handle, hire, or train 60 to 70+ pilots per month without a large training backlog much like the regionals (with the exception of Skywest, with a solid efficient management team).

In fairness to AA every retirement generates quite a few more training cycles compared to one pilot leaving a regional. That being said if they can't keep up now, what is going to happen when retirements double in 2 or 3 years? What will happen to flow times?

Yeah, a lot of people have mentioned this when stating reasons why we didn't trust flow estimates.
