Yes, only one in December, then three this month. Third for this month is next week. Back to every two weeks in February.

I have said Envoy can’t just magically increase the 175 training for some time because they can’t. If they could they would.

It is going to take a while for them to increase throughput.

Mad Dog retiring at AA is going to help stop the retirement/staffing bleeding at AA for a good while. Def won’t be in desperate need of pilots for sometime.

You do realize that flying will still be happening, just in different aircraft, right?

I mean...it's not like there are any replacement aircraft orders forthcoming

The 175 has taken over ALL of the MD80 routes. AA isn’t dumb when it comes to getting cheap labor to work for them.

Uh, no. At least not the flying part. Cheap labor, yes.

While it is true that those pilots will need to go somewhere, AA is going to still fly the routes with different aircraft. The pilots won't just backfill every available slot AA has.

AA will need pilots, there is no question about that whatsoever. Maddogs retiring might eat up a little bit of the estimated 10,000 pilots needed over the next 10 years, but not much of it.

I think AA is pretty happy with its regional feed/military feed of pilots. Remember, they are not stupid and they are privy to lots more data then we are, so I don't see them coming up short.

Can’t see why you’d want massive AA hiring. Enough to support the max number of flows Envoy will let go of is optimal. Until you get your seat at the table you should want as few F-15 guys senior to you as possible.
