Eagle merger incoming?

Looks like they updated the folks at PDT's seniority to match what would be about right if they merged all the AA WO regionals together...

With one type per airline soon it would be pretty simple to fence the captains

What would be the benefit of merging all the regionals together? Feel like the juice wouldn't be worth the squeeze, but maybe I'm missing something.

"Eagle" ?

this isn't 1992

To merge them would cost money to big AA.

the answer is no

Presumably some economies of scale with support/overhead

More flexibility with FA’s

On the pilot side allows them to more easily wind down 145 then crj

Dumb question, what's the training footprint like for transitioning pilots from the E-145 to the E-175?

AA can renegotiate flow to decrease attrition…

At Envoy, current E145 pilots go through everything except Indoc and the observation flight on the E175. That means roughly 6-8 weeks to training.

In what way has it been updated? What has changed and what makes you think it “would match what it would be if merged…”?

Me thinks you are grasping at straws and trolling.

so, the bid results at PDT have the seniority number at the top of each pilots award. Several pilots at piedmont are having their seniority shoot up from what it was, for example 220 (out of 790ish pilots at piedmont) to 2500-2600, which if you merge a seniority list with all the pilots at pdt/psa/eny and sort by date of hire.. puts the example pilot at 2450-2550 on the “combined seniority list” it’s a stretch. But the numbers match up enough that I’m running with it. For now.
