Bingo,

The 80s make MONEY for AA below $100 a barrel, the fact where oil is today is leading much school house talk (I know, I know, school house talk) to the 80s not being parked, in fact some one said one was just taken out of storage.. Te latest from a few checkairman is the 80s will stay and 737s will replace some 757 flying, leaving the 757 to make headway to new destinations.

We also have a potentially large amount of pilots retiring Dec 1st.

If we do keep the 80s and take delivery of the 3 737 a month (now delayed till March with the strike) we could recall early this spring.

P.S. the latest was the Bus may not be parked as quickly as they originally planned..... Things change daily..... Stay tuned!

With the violation of the 7300 floor does that require recalls if they go below it? Curious as to what that violation means?

The violation means that, technically, Eagle can cease to exist. Realistically, that will not happen, but nevertheless, the APA must use it as a major leverage tool as we "progress" through contract talks. As long as we are below that floor, AMR is violating our contract every day.

Recalls will not remedy the 7300 pilot floor since pilots added to the seniority list via merger and acquisition do not count. From here out, until you get to the very end of the furlough list, it's all TWA pilots which do not count towards the 7300 floor.

AMR is in the full "Screw you. Grieve it" mode.

Hopefully a couple thousand punch out on DEC 1st. Could you imagine that? It'll show them at Amron.

Couple of thousand? Obviously don't understand the retirement plan.

Most folks guessing 100-200.

Wednesday the 26th is the cutoff day due to office closing for the rest of the month.

Cathay already streams passenger seamlessly between US and Hong Kong and is very protective about its little island. With 15 flights a day I think there is enough capacity. However we dont service DFW so that could be a possibility. CX was going to start a freighter base in TX so that would create so synergy.
