Default Recalls--AMR

A few months back there was a rumor of AMR increasing recalls to 70 or so a month after hiring more instructors, supposedly by Jan or Feb. Any new info on this anyone? Just curious--

Jan 3 class has only 25, I believe; there should be another class that month, though.

B757 is correct, first class of 25 in Jan, with probably another 25 in the second class.

So far they are keeping it at 50/month. However, they just hired/recalled another 9 767 instructors... I wouldn't be surprised if it went up.

Tone,

My bad... they rearranged the Jan plans with a class of 20 on Jan 3 and another class of 20 for Jan 16... so for now it will be 40/month.

Depending on age 65, number of deferals etc.... the thought is late 2008 to mid to late 2009 before all furloughed are offered recall.....

Wonder if AA is a little behind in the recalls? In short, wonder if it changed to age 65 tomorrow, and even if 3 quarters decided to stay, would the recalls still continue, since they are way behind, or would they screetch to a halt. I mean since 911, they have to be short staffed by at least 2000 pilots already, even with airplanes sunbathing in the desert, from retirements that already took place over the past 5 years? (I hope?)Any have some insight? ...

Are these recalls as a result of retirements? How much will this change when the age 65 rule is approved? I don't see any orders or options for additional a/c (on APC)...how long before they start phasing out the 80s, and what will be the net loss/addition of a/c? Rumor is that AA is behind the curve on replacing an aging fleet.

It's because AA is a reactive com pany, not a proactive one. They're always last to furlough (with the most), then last to recall, usually 6 months too late.

Anyone disagree? aa73?
