No, there is talk about actual flow increases. ALPA has supposedly received initial info from AA, but there are strings attached (as you would expect). Looks like 4-12 more per month, depending on the WO. (PDT getting 4 more, Envoy getting 12 more). Not dependent on attrition, but a real flow increase.

They will have to increase the numbers, they have a huge retention issue and they need to fix it asap. Increasing flow would be an easy way to do it, and I hope they will.

1) they lose 360 captains
2) the guys at 500-800 still are over a year out. Why would they pass up the greatest hiring wave in a generation? Dl/ua/fdx/ups are gonna snatch up several hundred others
now psa still has no captains and the whole house of cards implodes

I don’t they can increase flow enough to fix the problem. AA is looking to hire 150/month this year and they’re currently Flowing something like 30/month. Say they triple the flow. (Unlikely but not impossible). That would have PSA flowing 360/year. Couple problems

A lot of people from my personal experience really want to work for AA a huge reason is hub locations, PHL, CLT and MIA. I think it would stop a few know they can get to their number 1 faster. Call them whatever for turning down United to wait 1.5 years to flow but maybe they live in CLT and don’t want to commute for 30 years.
There have been many that have done this in the past.

The “some people want to flow” argument isn’t wrong but it’s irrelevant. The WO’s are near an unsustainable tipping point. It’s like saying half your red blood cells want to stay but the other half are going on the floor. You can only lose so many
