http://rpmedia.ask.com/ts?u=/wikiped..._CSeries-1.jpg And in the mean time fly these to replace some of the 80s....Americans plan is to divest eagle and make it an all ATR's/ERJ fleet...Getting around scope by moving the 700's to AA....Its still just a rumor http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3597/...71ef0140e3.jpg |
C-series is having beaucoup engine problems as well. Probably another 3 years or so before anyone could put it on the line.

Supposedly a big APA pow wow today. Anything earth shattering come out of it? Not holding my breath...
|
No. Breath...

Looking forward to any off the street hiring news....
What is fueling the need for more pilots (besides the usual managment mistakes)? Is it just the new rules? Planned fleet increase? Planned retirements that are still a year or more off? Combination of everything? Without a massive retirement push or increase in fleet numbers I'm confused:confused: Which usually happens a couple times a day:) Tried the Netjet thing, lets just say it didn't work out!! ready to get back into 121 world |

The increase in recalls is a combination of everything:
Company is short manned NPRM ruling will need more bodies Big fleet increase (100-120 seaters) The big ? about over 60s locked in who could bail at a moment's notice Planned normal age 65 retirements starting in 2013 AA not retiring as many S80s as planned (they want to keep around 200) New 737 and 773 deliveries |
Any ideas of what the plan is for the 773's. Is AA gonna be announcing new Asian routes soon?
|
Lots of deliveries in the next few years:
As of December 31, 2010, American had 15 Boeing 737-800 purchase commitments for 2011 and 28 737-800 purchase commitments for 2012 and in addition to those commitments, American had firm commitments for eleven Boeing 737-800 aircraft and seven Boeing 777-200 aircraft scheduled to be delivered in 2013-2016...On January 14, 2011, the Company entered into an amendment...with Boeing to exercise rights to acquire two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft for delivery in 2012...In 2008, the Company entered into a new purchase agreement with Boeing for the acquisition of 42 firm Boeing 787-9 aircraft and purchase rights to acquire up to 58 additional B787 aircraft. The first aircraft is currently scheduled to be delivered in 2014, and the last aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in 2018 with deliveries of additional aircraft, if any, scheduled between 2016 and 2021. |

I've been corporate for almost 2 yrs now. I am paitently waiting and praying that a spot at AA would be for me and my family. I only have 600 PIC turbine with 6000+ Total and two type ratings that I am current on and fly regularly. I know my times won't be "competitive", but i hope they will be attractive enough to get me back to the 121 world. Good luck to all! |
