1) I have no idea who you are, and you're going to use my real name here? Anybody within the company can figure out who I am pretty easily if they wanted. No need to blast it out on the interwebs.
2) It's not my decision to axe the FOs. Talk about making you feel good... do what that other FO did and tell the CP that you feel undervalued and unappreciated. See what happens. "Sometimes you get the short end of the stick" was the response, I believe. That's just what I've heard. I've heard that we're going to tell AA that we're nixing the FOs, regardless of whether it ruins the codeshare. Again, that's what I've heard. Is it true? I don't know. That's what makes it a RUMOR.
However, the fact that we're losing FOs out here to regionals is, well... a fact. I haven't looked at the training schedule, but if they do plan on keeping the FOs out here, they'll probably have to do more FO hiring.
Don't shoot the messenger. This has been milling around STL for a while now, and if you haven't heard it yet... I don't know what to tell you.

What I've heard is that we're going to tell AA that we're getting rid of the FOs, with or without their (AA's) approval, and it's up to them whether they'd like to continue the codeshare at that point. Basically, we'd be telling AA to shove the FO requirement. It sounds like the codeshare isn't too important to us.
Again, that's the RUMOR I've heard.
BTW, a lot of the FOs ARE getting hired elsewhere...

Heck I'm even bothering crew scheduling to work half of one of the soon-to-be-open FO lines out here. I'll make my "bank" as an FO....or whatever "bank" is at $9/hr.

Yeah, it's tough to get that summer incentive when you don't have many days off.
It's a Widgeon. It's in Daytona, I rented it to get my Comm. Multi-engine Sea. A little pricey, but it was certainly fun.
