Youngest I could find is 28 yr old upgrades for mid 1980 hires.

So APA is having a nation wide meeting at the beginning of June. Last Friday Eagle ALPA notified their members that the 824 preferential hire ruling by the arbitrator has an official objection submitted by American Airlines management and the APA. The reason for the objection has to do with a "what if scenario" of future merger or acquisition. I am not saying they are announcing a merger or an acquisition. I am just saying, what could the APA national meeting be about and why is there an objection to the 824 in regards to mergers and acquisitions. Interesting.

Gear Puller said "In 1964 upgrade time was insanely fast. I think there was a guy that got hired at 21 and made captain at 23 or so."

Gear Puller,

As a new flight engineer, the Captain I flew with told me of the time he was a new hire flight engineer on the 707 in the mid 60s. The Capt, Fo and he wanted to rent a car on a layover. They needed one of the flight attendants to rent the car, none of them was 25 years old and the car rental company would not rent them a car!

Congrats to all the recalls. Welcome Back!

How senior is LA? Roughly how long to hold right seat of the 777?

Don't these latest 25 include many of the guys that took plowback to Eagle? That probably accounts for the higher acceptance rate in that class.

Mason,

They are almost down to the bottom flowback. Not sure if he will be offered the first or second class in July. It looks to be close.

Others probably have access to actual sen #s and hire dates, but a friend is a 777FO out of LAX, been with AA since '91, can still only hold reserve there.

So do we have a consensus on when hiring off the street might begin? assuming current pace? and has anyone factored in the AUG 1 FAA rules?
