Default AA Pilot Retirements

Does anybody think the possibility of a FA strike at AA will cause an uptick in pilot retirements at AA? Any numbers on the amount of guys putting their paperwork in recently compared to the past?

The National Mediation Board or the President is not going to allow AA to strike. AA plays the politics game pretty well.

With almost 10% unemployment, all AA has to do is say, "well, we might have to lay off all sorts of people if the FAs strike" and boom - no strike.

I wouldn't be worried if I was a pilot at AA.

I would think the President being a liberal Democrat would let any strike happen. I would rather keep to the question on whether a lot of the over 60 guys at AA have been putting in their paperwork just in case things get bad.

That was payback for Uncle Bob agreeing to sit down the the FAs during their strike to avert a disastrous holiday travel season.

Don't forget, Bill let the NWA pilots strike for as long as they wanted.
