IF the deliveries pan out as scheduled anyone hired this year will be sitting really pretty.

Parker is trying to half a$$ make AA a LCC. That isn’t going to work. Isn’t going to be a market for a middle of the road LCC/Legacy mix. Now more then ever the majority of the flying public just wants to get from point A to point B for as cheaply as possible. The other customers want premium service like Delta offers. AA is stuck in the middle with a ton of debt and a relatively inefficient fleet.

Combined, Piedmont could be brought to bear very easily. Your operation is very vulnerable as hiring really ramps up throughout the industry.

This summer is going to be interesting and may be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.
Look for lca's to fly as FOs. If the FOs continue to leave in droves expect forced downgrades. When SOE CA's fly as FOs training takes a dive. I believe the feds shut this down last year when they tried it.
If we fall below 725 pilots the flow goes to 5 per month. There is no snap back protection language in the in the flow LOA.
This could have all been avoided last year with a good faith contract, that paid us what we deserve and given us a QOL improvement we deserve.
In my honest opinion I can't see PDT flight ops continuing without a major change.
