AA recalls
 

I just got the message AA is finally recalling pilots. Only 10 a month, but better than nothing!!!

That's great news for the Eagle guys...finally get some movement there.

Welcome
 

hurry up guys and come on down!!!!!!!

Real funny. At that rate, only 289 months (24 years) to go to recall all 2,890 furloughees.

Rah, rah.

Hmmm, retirements ring a bell with you?

I don't know how much you know about the furloughed pilot situation at AA...but, from what you just said, I suspect little. I retired from that carrier and have many friends on that furlough list.

How about you?

At the announced rate of return, it will take years before everyone gets back.

OK I'll bite, So you mean to tell me that unlike all the other carriers in the country, AA won't be retiring a good number of it's pilots in the next 10 years? I mean assuming that age 60 sticks...God knows most of us hope it does. As far as the furloughs at what ratio will they come back? Certaintly not 100%!

And no the guys I know are at Eagle, and they certainly deserve that left seat after 5 years. I'm just hoping they get it soon.

Why can't you guys just see that ATLEAST they are recalling?

I agree 100%!

I bet they recall more than 10/month. AA can't cover their attrition rate at 10 /month. Plus they are very understaffed. I am very happy that it has finnally happened.
