What ever dude. Don't even start that Q400 crap.

No, but if you go in as a Lt and fly and F-16, A-10, F-15...you'll always be an aircraft commander.

C'mon guys, let's not start the mil vs. civ flame

Actually, it is in APA benefit that the flow throughs do not flow, using Hard ship as an exuse. A hardship, based on a base transfer inplies that you are transfering within the company. That would be APA's golden ticket to file for a single carrier motion. Its never been a posibility, since AMR states we are to seperate companies under the same holding corp. But a base transfer hardship implies transfering within the same company. Also if the do not flow and stay at AE, APA doesnt need to recind their APA membership number. Now you would have APA guys flying AE equipment. Another basis for Single carrier petition. :cool:

If that's the case then a military pilot should have no more expectations when taking an airline job than any other applicant.

A newly created entity, as has been the case wherever the big e-jets have shown up in UAL, NWA and DAL colors. Unless you consider jetblue and usairways mainline of course, then they will be mainline aircraft.

Help me out here. On page 9 it shows Eagle would have to be at least 15 or more times bigger to be equal to AA mainline. No?

Just trying to understand how you came up with that AE controls domestic thing.

Yea, thats far from the truth. Eagle flies 7% of the Available Seat Miles(ASMs) that AA does. That number included AA Int'l stuff, so when you drop that and compared AA DOT Domestic vs Eagle it comes out to about 12%.

Never happen. Eagle has an arbitrator defined scope clause that would prevent that. The real question will be if AMR uses connection in ORD and how long till an arbitrators stops it. I haven't heard anything in while but there was talk of going to federal court to enforce the previous ruling. If they can't do that then it will go the grievance route.
One has to wonder after the Buffalo incident whether any large carrier will farm out to a non-owned feeder. I would also think the carriers are concerned about building up a future competitor like Republic.

Under a dual company with a master list like PanAm you could have hiring at both companies at the same time. My only dislike to this system is have a Eagle guy go to AA and start over on pay. Maybe when the stars align they will have a starting pay that is reasonable. I am sure the company likes the extra incentive to prevent an Eagle guy staying too long and then moving to AA at a higher pay compared to other companies that might not have the same system in place.

Aa/ae
 

Look back over the last 10 years and where the domestic flying went and will go in the future. I don't see AA doing it. I see AE doing the domestic flying with the 100 seat aircraft.

So, because APA made a bad strategic decision in the 1997 contract, they are compelled to continue that trend, despite compelling evidence that it is not in their membership's best interest?
