Rumor on the street is that american has already worked out a deal to buy these...
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

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
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

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 am in the same boat you are......I left Eagle after 6 yrs in the right seat in search of a few more pennies and PIC time. 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!
