I saw this on the American forum. Looks like PHL will be gutted Tuesday and Saturday. I guess 20 hours to sit at home is looking better all the time.

I figured AA would shrink to focus on its fortress hubs. DFW/CLT and MIA.

Not when you can make 75h to sit at the airport or hotel...
Especially the single folks. Not a whole lot to do at home. Not a huge difference between home and hotel. Might as well get paid more.

Unless you’re paying for the hotel. I see a large number of folks sitting reserve in May.

Even then 75h-20=55.

55x50=2750 (junior FO) 55x76=4180 (junior CA).

Crash pads (even hotel) are way cheaper than that, and you still come out making more.

The only reason to take the 20h is if you are concerned of catching ‘rona. Then might as well get paid to stay home in a slightly safer place (if you have your groceries and supplies delivered).

But if that isn’t your situation, taking 20h makes about as much sense as flood insurance in the desert.

This is true. I image most side gigs are curtailed right now too, with no-one able to afford anything. But if you got one, it makes sense to me.

With the reduction of flying and number of lines, are they still obligated to keep flying in open time? Basically will they make lines with all the flying AA gives them or will they reduce the number of lines even further in order to keep flying in open time per the contract? These are kind of unprecedented times and you would think that they would make as many lines as possible and not keep flying in open time which nobody is going to pick up and will translate to people getting short called and jacked around on reserve.
