[QUOTE=eaglefly;1021267]Ahh......that explains it.

I think you've been hanging around Eagle lounge too long. From my past experience, it's hands down the most dysfunctional, caustic and perception altering airline website in existance filled with idiots and also IMO, moderated by a meglomaniac who has been allowed to take control by an absentee administrator. Spending too much time there listening to that drivel will bend your mind to the point of difficulty in accurately understanding anyone elsewhere in the industry on other forums.

Then you must have never been on the "Bar and Grill".......the UPS pilots forum.......talk about drivel.

Just had a friend who is a former-TWA instructor recalled at AA. He said they need him training quickly. FWIW.

Looking for Ex-TWA MIAs
 

We are having a hard time tracking down some ex-TWA to notify them of pending AA recalls. In particular guys who were hired the beginning of 2001 and furloughed October 2001.

Please spread the word if you know of any ex-TWA who might be interested in the recall/deferral to please ensure their information is correct with Patty Taylor at AA.

Appreciate it,
SC

Yeah, apparently he was first contacted by an old colleague.

I heard 40 retired for July.. so if they're so short staffed ...:Dbetter start bringing in more than 40... it's only going to increase from here.

Kinda wondering what will happen if the pols fumble the ball on the debt ceiling and the Dow dives a thousand or so.

Not an A/B fund guru, but I understand the market has great influence on when a senior pilot might throw in the towel.

Sure would be interesting if a few hundreds pilots do a Peter pan out of AA on Aug. 1.

I sent a message to two former TWA Skybus guys I worked with from my facebook..

Can you share any details with us about the recall's (number deferring, etc..) and when you expect to need to hire off the street? If not, I completely understandable.

I was in the process of being hired (waiting for medical) when the layoffs started and have been waiting a long time to re-apply... ;)

Thank you, FO, for helping send the word out. Several of us ex's are seeing a high deferral rate and are trying to locate these MIAs before they are possibly passed-up or surprised. I am no expert and cannot tell you about street hiring, but tone and aa73 have some pretty good insights.

Good luck to you,
SC

Several work colleagues who were ex-TW 96 hires have recently been recalled. They are deferring and will do so until forced to decide, apparently, three years after the last furloughee is recalled. There are better places to be than bottom of AA with a 35% pay cut from where they are now.

i know several at K4 who have or will defer and will not go back..
