If AA does hire, be prepared to sit on reserve FOREVER. Bypass pilots numbering in the hundreds will be spilling back over the course of months or years. That is, if we do not stagnate and not recall anyone for a spell. It could get ugly fast.
Might be a good gig for a single guy or gal that wouldn't mind actually living in NYC or MIA. The other good part is that FO pay beats the CA pay at any regional.
If you are married, you may as well file the divorce papers the same day you get the congrats letter from AA HR.
JMO.

Reviewing the 2004 AA seniority list (which included all the TWA pilots), 2059 pilots will reach age 65 mandatory retirement between now and January 2014. Another 3307 will by January 2019 and all the rest, 6475, by November 2042.
5300 empty seats over 10 years averages 530 a year. This only applies if AA doesn't reduce their fleet and begin outsourcing like other major airlines.

Doing so just makes it harder for the rest to hold the line.

PBS is a dead issue. Dead. Kaput. Ain't gonna happen. Not gonna discuss it. AA pilots aren't "giving" ANYTHING this time around. We're not trading for anything and we're not going to get suckered into "negotiating with ourselves."

Only 146 retirements over the next 5 years seems very low. If you meant 1460, it still seems low at less than 300 a year. What source did you use? Mine was a 2004 AA seniority list. Five years old, but birthdays don't change.
