First tell aag cancel all non w/o contracts ie. Skw, rah and mesa. Do that first, make a public statement to ybye media and file it withc.dtbye sec first, then and only then will we come to the table with no nda signed.

Look at the TERMS of the scope agreement with APA. Now understand that APA does NOT look upon you as junior comrades and eventual buddies. You, far more than the ULCC crew that together are pulling down $320- 350 a flight hour are the cheap competition they are fighting against. NK and F9 may be competing with them for pax, but they are at least competing at a sizable fraction of APA PAY, not at $140 an hour. And that to fly THEIR Pax In THEIR company’s metal. Which is what scope is all about.

So scope is limited - both as to total flight hours and to total number of regional aircraft (limited to a percentage of mainline narrow bodies). The early retirement of the E-190s and the older 737s, coupled with deferrals of the Future 321XLR orders combined with the decreased overall flying is going to mean that something has to give and decreasing assets they control will actually be cheaper than paying a premium to cancel contracts.

So yeah, lose a few more aircraft in bankruptcy and push could really come to shove...

Tiers of cancellation?

when does round one start and when does round two begin? Or is it a continuous thing throughout the month based on real time loads? Just curious about this process.

I too was unaware that AA had tiered cancelation packages, but I can assure you that if they do, round 1 already happened yesterday morning. It would seem that many peoples schedules have seen reduced flying, upwards of 50% by some accounts.

If there is indeed a round two, which I cant see why there wouldn't be as dera has shown to be correct in most of their statements, it would be even worse than what we see now. This is going to get really bad as Excargodog mentions if scope issues start coming into play and a reduction in lines, I cant see a way out of greater furloughs.

Next round wont cut as much as this round did. They get sent out in packages so CS has time to figure things out.

Additional schedule changes just went through this morning. Looks like they cleaned up the discontinuities from yesterday and cancelled a few more.

My discontinuities were all fixed by yesterday afternoon. I had about 30% cut from my August schedule plus some the end this month. I think I got one fixed by adding back in a flight and one that has a deadhead now, Plus some 48ish hour lost days. Nothing else this morning. I still have some Mexico overnights. Anyone have those go away?

had some Mexico turns cancelled, but kept most mex overnights. Lost PVD and DCA overnights, and a DCA to DSM fly through

Wow thats long! If the flow dissolves in bankruptcy wouldn’t it be better to have a guaranteed interview. This way AA hires the most qualified, competitive, and worthwhile. Some iffy people have flowed that an interview would have had possibly filtered. Whats endeavors pass rate now? Probably accurate.
