American's Hiring Plans
With several of the other majors hiring, is there any word on when AA may start hiring again. I read somewhere, sorry don't remember where, that AA will lose 80% of its pilots in the next 10 years due to retirements assuming age 60. It would seem that some hiring has to start soon. I know AE is hiring now.

i do not think they will lose 80% of their pilots over the next ten years.
there are close to 3000 on the street. recalls are expected for the summer ramp up next year. if they recall at 100 a month, it will take roughly a year and a half to recall them all (assuming a 50% retention rate).

AA has 2,890 pilots furloughed. They have not recalled one single pilot since 9-11, and no recalls are planned. If and when recalls occur, they will not bring back 100 pilots per month. The maximum capacity of their training academy is 50-55 pilot per month, so do the math. In the old days, 100 per month was 50 F/Os, and 50 F/Es; there are no longer F/Es, so the capacity remains 50/month.
AA's pilot group is very young, compared to CO/DL/US/NW and others. The average age of their pilots is in the mid/late-40s. There will be nowhere near 80% retiring in the near future, trust me.

Yeah, it could be 36 months before all AA pilots recalled. But, I think closer to 90-95% will take recall, unlike UAL which apparently has to call 3 pilots to et 1 to come back. Noone wants to be at the bottom of a large seniority list on RSV.
