Total Deferring - 812
= 1832 pilots offered a recall

Therefore, I come up with a 55.7% acceptance rate (1021/1832).
Someone help me out...

They called 1021 guys, 812 said not right now.

Then why does it say 1832 pilots offered a recall and not 1021?

Quote:

Current recall rate at about 15% (takes 100 pilots to get 15 to accept). Approx. 980 still on furlough (not offered recall). Anticipate all recalls completed by early 2012 and hiring possible thereafter.

latest I find... why so wound up about the recall rate anyway?

If you notice, it says the "latest" acceptance rate, not the "total acceptance rate. When they started the recalls originally, the acceptance rate was much higher than it is today. Latest recallees have been out for nearly 9 years. Many have found greener pastures and such.

I was just curious because the numbers didn't add up to me.

That's what I thought at first, but it specifically says 1832 pilots offered a recall in the spreadsheet.

This would make sense...thanks

Could the 1832 refer to everyone ever offerered recall(including 2008, 2009 etc) while the 1021 refers to the recent recall offers(Dec 2010+)???

What are the hiring minimums?

AA won't be needing new-hires until spring 2012 at the earliest. Barring the unforseen, I'd expect a new-hire window to be announced sometime in February or March. When that announcement happens, my bet says AA gets 10,000 apps within 14 days meeting their minimum quals. What those quals are, are anyone's guess right now.

I'd expect though (a guess) considering the market, the minimum to be 2500 hours part 121 or military, 500 PIC military or civilian jet/turboprop, bachelors preferred. Competitive requirements may easily be double that consisting of long-time regional captains, corproate/fractional pro's and experienced military vets fighter and heavy. A stray regional F/O here and there as well and a smattering of Eagle pilots (all captains with the competitive mins) to be included.

Soft requirements that are subjective and difficult to quantify are always there as well like work/driving/legal histories, interview skills and sim performance, but that we all know is in effect everywhere. I expect quite a dogfight for new-hire slots whenever that happens.

Curious what the I and D designations after the equipment type means? Am I correct in assuming International and Domestic?
