I also remember something about allowing only 20 Eagle flowthroughs per month (or per class, don't remember) to prevent staffing shortfalls at Eagle. That could allow some off the street hiring sooner and at the same time cost some Eagle guys quite a few numbers on the seniority list if AA increases recalls/hiring to historical highs of 80-100/month.

Not quite correct. The 20 per month limit that Eagle may impose is restricted to the 824 pilots who will go over when hiring starts. The flowthroughs with seniority numbers come over as called by AA.

The important question is how old are all of the guys set to flow up? I assume they're the most senior Eagle pilots and therefore a little bit older, too? Or, asked another way, could I still be a widebody captain by my early 40s?
(I still need something to dream about.)

The final group of numbered flowthru's range from about 40 to a few in their early 50's, so they're still geezers. A few may fall outside that. The question is how many of them will flow at first year pay and bottom barrel RSV in NY or MIA.
It's a tough life and other domiciles and/or hard lines will be a long road for them. Of course, the addition of a 100-seater could change both issues as well as a better RSV system and better staffing.
They'll have to have polished crystal balls.

That is correct, Jr CA (native) is 1992 hire. Jr TWA CA is around '89 TWA hire. However, every month now there have been 30-35 new CA vacancies, so things are starting to move. Keep in mind, we furloughed from '93-'96, and started hiring again in '98. So when the last '93 hire upgrades, it jumps up to a '98 hire.

Slight correction, Jr. former TWA CA is September 1988 hire.
