I agree, expect for those poor souls slugging it out at American Evil, nobody who has moved on to good airlines like JetBlue will go for the first call.
To be the most junior, LGA based, S80 guy- again.

Jetblue a good airline???? Maybe so BUT it's a ****TY JOB!!! Jetbule is just one example of what has happened to this profession!!!

:cool: TWA guys out there???Just wondering where U fall into the picture?

If 10/month are recalled, 120 will be recalled next year. Out of that, only 14 will be TWA pilots. The 106 AA pilots are all junior, new-hire F/Os hired in '99; the 14 TWA pilots are all '88 hires who were MD80/717 Captains.

See the discrepancy?

Yeah,

They should have had the jet time to leave a sinking ship around '91 and they'd be senior FO's or junior Ca's at AA by now. It's too bad those 14 guys stayed at TWA:D

EagleDriver:

Glad you have a crystal ball. I'm a March '88 hire at TWA and am a junior lineholder CA on the MD-80. Should I have left in the late '80's or '90's? I know guys around my seniority who weren't comfortable at TWA then and went elsewhere. I know a few who went to USair. Did they make the right decision? Some went to SWA. They probably think they're genious's.

EagleDriver, glad you're happy at Eagle.

We will begin orientations around January 3rd and training will start afterwards. Basically, the ten a month is just a number we threw out for everyone. We are probably going to have to call 5 or 6 to get one. Someone brought up that Delta had to call 10 to get one. The guys that come back will most likely be LGA Super 80 FO's and MIA 737 FO's. Another issue is that according to the contract, they can defer for a long time; something like 3 years after all the recalls have taken place (don't quote me on this). This will probably happen with guys who don't want to commute and can't live at that base. Another issue is instructors. We have to call back instructors to train these guys for the planes and that take time in itself. This thing is going to take forever.
