You need a class size of 60 new hires or more to get the 30.

Yes, I know.. This is why I said this company sucks. DAL and UAL hire 100-120/mo each. AA gets 40-50 in class/month and their whole rinky dink 2:1 training operation falls apart, training gets backed up and they have to skip a month of hiring to catch up. The flow will take FOREVER at this rate for junior CA's 700 #'s away, then there is basically no chance in hell we are still even in business by the time it gets to the FO's at this rate, with horrendous treatment, massive FO attrition + only lifers in the left seat.

Every additional month of only 20/mo or less past November adds another 2 weeks to our sentence here. The delays are significant and add up real quick.

If you are only 100 numbers away, not that big if a deal. 700 numbers away it adds a year, 1500 numbers away. It adds YEARS.

Gotcha. Thanks

Their company DOH started the day they stepped foot on AMR w/eagle. Occupational seniority is scheduled class completion date at AA.

I think AA is an awful airline with a horrible corporate culture. If friends and family ask for my opinion I always advise them to buy a ticket on other airlines (JetBlue, Spirit, a foreign airline, etc.) because I know that they will enjoy their travel experience much more that way.

However, they also pay quite a bit more then other jobs out there. So as for me, as much as I despise the manner in which AAG is run, I'm sticking around. Money talks.

Latest seniority to go to AA in the July class was hired at Eagle in March '99. By the end of year 2015 we are scheduled to be at September '99 hires flowing. End of 2016 projected to be at March '04 seniority.

Have you ever ridden in the back of Spirit? They treat their employees fairly well, but not their passengers.

You're 100% right, my bad! I actually meant to write Virgin, I'm not sure why I wrote Spirit. I guess I was typing too fast.
