How many guys didn't come back from furlough? Rumors are starting to float around that its somewhere in the hundreds who didn't except the recall.

As of now, only 60ish didn't accept the recall. I have heard that a lot are holding out until training and turning in their notice that they're leaving. I would say that it'll probably be around 100 that left when this is all said and done.

This is exactly what is about to happen.

So I got a CJO last January and chose a Class date in June, (stupid decision, thinking time off after hitting mins and all that) anyone have a time line when I might get called for a training class or everything is still up in the air?

No one has really heard anything to my knowledge. As the others above have mentioned, once they get a solid number on how many are actually coming back, that will probably dictate how much hiring is done to fit whatever flying they need. Purely a guess.

That’s rough.......

If I had accepted the first class they offered me I would have been in the very last class hired/flowed at AA. I was sorta kicking myself for not taking that class... Right up until Covid happened. In the end these small things don’t matter much even though they seem important now. It will work out.

Exactly. The only time any of us will really know if we made the right decisions will be when you hit 65 and set the parking brake for the last time and look back on your career. Until then it’s all just making the best decisions you can for you and your families at that moment in time.

Counterpoint:

you cannot know the future, but once you pick a path move forward now.

I know of several people who have already gotten calls, and have class dates in February and March.
