is that what you were hoping for? so much movement, you'll be able to transfer anywhere in the system after your seatlock.

I've been thinking about going back to the airlines and sending my stuff in to Eagle, with the sole purpose of trying to get based in SJU on the ATR (my wife really wants to move down there and I want to be able to live in-base).
I've been hearing rumors of a dramatic downsizing of SJU, starting in April. Can you pass on any inside information about this base and its prospects for the future?
Thanks!

The ATRs are on a different operating certificate, Executive Airlines which is owned by American Eagle Airlines. The Executive certificate HQ is in SJU, as well as all of the management, dispatchers, schedulers, etc. I really dont think it will close. It is a very unique base and the flying is amazing. You and the wife will have a blast! Enjoy.

There were rumors of drastic downsizing of SJU about 6 months ago. They werent offering any open slots (even to newhires) and thinks looked bleak. About 2 months ago things changed and they started adding back some flights and crews to SJU, and we have seen lots of newhires sent there over the past few classes. I think youll be set.

I thought the original plan was to move everyone to DFW a year or two ago

Window dressing so the shareholders can make their money when the divesting starts; and it's no coincidence the announcement is coming so close to the April payouts for management. This is all orchestrated intentionally well in advance. The divestiture is coming for sure this time. The shareholders are seeing Delta, United, etc. moving forward and still nothing from AA. This divestiture not only gives the stock a quick boost, but it also pressures APA with outsourcing possibilities, with the hope that the pilots concede on some issues for a quicker resolution. The shareholders like the sound of that too. Probably a good time to buy shares of AMR.
