Yes with all due respect, AA HAD 100 seat jets.

If an order were to be placed for them AA pilots would fly them, however this has not and will not change AMR's agenda of pushing for further relaxation of our SCOPE, or trying to bargain for something we already own.

AA

Before you start bashing this guy's post, realize yourself that there are 600 pilots at eagle who have contractually bound themselves to flowing through. AA, ALPA and Eagle management are meeting right now to finalize language that will govern whether or not each pilot must leave Eagle via hardship application. ALPA and Eagle Management have stressed that they are favoring "up or out" for "flow through" pilots who do not qualify for a hardship.

AA is the carrier shrinking "unfortunatley" on March 1..

The first of the new CRJ's are being delivered in a few months

New rest rules which concern crews regularly flying 14 hour days with 8.5 hr overnights and 90 hours a month will create vacancies.

Internal email has created numerous vacancies for HR pilots to conduct interviews for at least 6 months. When eagle hired from 2004-2007, they were capable of 50 per month.

You may not see 1000 new hires, but understand that Eagle doesn't need 111 more aircraft to do it. Should they not park any aircraft and all other stars align, they will be short by at least 750 over the next 3 years, and more should Majors start hiring.

Any checkride can be a B*&^*tch, it really depends on who is giving it and there agenda. As a side gig the past few years I have acted as an FAA Training Center Evaluator giving checkrides. I could find a way and a reason to fail anyone, even you. Sounds like your "RJ" program has some "egos" running around.

AA

By the way, one of the Flow Ups, was in 767 school years ago with me. Yes sometimes we pair two FOs together. He had thousands of hours and failed his 767 ride.

Things happen, and people have bad days. I did not think any less of him as a pilot. Hopefully you didn't and don't think any less of ALL the mainliners that couldn't hack the RJ program.

Yes, mentoring is a better word for it, didn't mean any disrespect...

No worries, it can be hard to convey certain things on these boards... There was one Captain however......... Babysitting would have been too kind:D

Cheers,

AA

If the ORD Chair is your source of information, then he is a poor source of info. Eagle only has 25 CRJ's now and the additional 22 will bring it up to 47 total.

My understanding is that AE mgmt wants the FTs gone yesterday, but AA mgmt doesnt want anyone to flow who doesnt want to. Somehow I dont see P.B. standing up to Arpey demanding the FTs go!

Are you furloughed AA coming in as a newhire at AE? My condolences, seriously. I do hope things work out as well as possible for you at Eagle, welcome aboard.

Hey, don't talk about me like that! :p

Say Again?
 

From an outsider's POV, it seems like AMR and Eagle have been and still are trampling over your scope & your seniority. Supplement W/Letter 3 violates the APA CBA every which way, but for some reason, that famous APA 'Defending the Profession' mantra is silent.

Yes but they must comply with Sec. 1 of APAs contract. I have friends at Eagle making over 150K a year flying a 50 seat jet that we gave up. According to APC top pay is 103/hr for the cr7 and 98/hr for the next smaller. Could you detail for me how they make over 150K and how much time off they get? Looks like crediting over 121 hrs per month. Good for them but I bet there are very few if any getting this much. I don't think I would call them losers. You don't have to. You may not have noticed since your still stuck in the 90's, but Eagle won an arbitration that will bring 244 guys to AA. Good for them. Guess what Mr. Ego, most of them DON'T want to go. Unless they are old this will be a big mistake. How sad is that when feeders don't want to go because the money sucks. Yes it does suck if they have to go back to year 1 md 80 pay. But by year 8 or so they are back to what they are making now plus 11% b fund and an A fund. Don't forget about the massive retirements coming to AA. Again, if they are 50+ it probably does not make sense, 45 or younger probably does if they can handle the 1st year or so.

Y'all own the 100 seat flying plain and simple. As a matter of fact anything above a limited number of 70 seaters is yours to lose.
