Well I'm pretty sure the company is getting screwed without reserves at 4am due to nobody confirming assignments or proffering.

What's the crew cancellation rate been lately ?

High Xmas day was in the 100s.

Union says company will pull 140s from the boneyard if we can staff it. Maybe better sked next month.

What gates are they going to put them at? Our remaining biggest hubs can't even function as it is.

Don't apply logic to this company. Just remember for every winner there's a loser. Maybe check whose 2015 contracts with aa end?

I just heard that the cumulative cancellation total was something like 750 flights in the last 2-3 weeks and most of that was in good weather. If that's accurate, it sounds like the wheels are about to fly off pretty fast there, long before ALPA can help the company out of this. Reading the RAH thread, it sounds like they have massive staffing issues there as well, so I assume this HAS to be industry wide.

I'd be surprised if any jets were wakened from the dead, if they cannot staff the present fleet with an ever dwindling pilot force. This doesn't bode well for upgrades either. A strong chance of AA's TA passing brings hordes of furloughees back to 3rd year pay and many not even on reserve spells slamming the brakes on the flow thru by Spring.

Should get quite interesting at Envoy by Summer.

An AA pilot perusing through regional airline threads. Someone needs to get a hobby.

I'm sure you wouldn't say that about a regional pilot (like yourself) perusing through the legacy threads, eh ?

Nahhhhh.........:cool:

Someone needs to properly balance out there perceptions. Besides, aside from the fact it was a reply directly to ME, this partition has plenty of informative and some even relevant info and I have other hobbies, kid.

Any idea of size of new hire classes the past couple months. Thanks!

The last class had 8 and 1 in Dec. Keep in mind the holidays just passed and we only passed the TA on the 23rd. So we'll see if that has any affect soon.
