Default AA Classes 2017

The word is out from the top. Maybe only 3 total classes left in the year for AA. With 30 or 40 pilot in each class, that means that envoy send no more than 60 total pilot by end of year from today. Way less than management predict at beginning of the year. The number they said was 360. Maybe you send 180 all year with this news.

Really bad news for flow. Many here say that the flow never will stop or slow down. It is slowing down big time now. The flow of 6 years for some of those hired last year just got many months added.

Recruiting and P2P's are saying....

Second class in September cancelled. No classes in October. 2 classes in November. No classes in December. Back to "normal" in January

While I agree that the company and its salesmen inflated the number of flows, you are doing the same thing in the opposite direction. Per the union we already flowed 194 through July, and I think we sent another 25 in August, making it 219 for the year.

Is there a provision anywhere preventing a "reverse flow" the next time a 9/11-type of event or economic recession happens and AA has to become leaner again? IMHO anyone making life career/QOL decisions based on something as volatile as programs like these will just set themselves up for utter disappointment

You do know that this means you can't get hired the old fashioned way either, yes? If AA isn't running new-hire classes, NOBODY becomes a new hire at AA, through flow or any other way. Same as if Delta, United or any other airline stops running classes because of a training backlog. Even the "friends and family program" applicants can't get a class date. Get your panties out of a wad.

Right, so who told you that I would get disappointed about that anyways? I'm still seeing a pig, no matter what lipstick they try to dress it with

If American hires 20 one month and 80 after a break we only send 35 at most. Not 50. The rumor I heard is nov will be a big hiring month for them. Too bad they hose the flow and limit us to 25 a month due to operational necessity.
