1. Every American Eagle pilot who is on the American Eagle pilot seniority list as of October 11, 2011 will be offered a job as an American Airlines pilot in the future.

2. American Eagle pilots hired under this settlement agreement will not be subjected to a pre-employment interview or pre-employment medical examination prior to transferring to American Airlines.

3. American Eagle pilots will be offered a minimum of 35% of every American Airlines new-hire class. In the event that 35% of American Airlines’ new hire class is greater than 25 pilots per month, American Eagle will be required to release at least 25 Eagle pilots per month.

4. If American Eagle loses flying and such loss results in a furlough, American Airlines will increase the percentage of Eagle pilots in their new-hire classes to a minimum of 50%. The meter above will continue to apply.

5. If American Eagle loses flying and such loss might result in a furlough, American Airlines will also attempt to negotiate preferential interviews for American Eagle pilots at the carrier who has successfully bid for the flying that Eagle is losing.

6. This settlement does not impact the existing rights of American Eagle flow-through pilots who currently possess American Airlines pilot seniority numbers, or the rights of the 824 pilot positions awarded as remedy by Arbitrator Nicolau. Those provisions are in place and will remain effective without regard to this settlement agreement.

7. American Eagle has agreed to clarifying contract language regarding the scope of work that American Eagle pilots perform in the event of a divestiture.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see new minimums for employment. An ATP.

 

So for all of you debating on whether to interview with Eagle vs. Chautaqua vs. AWAC, etc... the correct answer is now Eagle.

 

What is a best guess of when someone hired October 1st would hear from American?

Seems like an amazing amount of hiring to reach that level.

 

I think this will make EAGLE more stable & profitable because all the senior captains will transfer to AA, saving a lot of money to EAGLE for Payroll......

This is very much in line with a statement a few days ago abt Eagle's slightly high payroll cost.......

DOES THIS explain the current HIRING SPREE of EAGLE in 2011 & 2012.....

 

Thats the million dollar question. However, if this sticks, according to the agreement you have a job. No interview, no medical. when your number comes up you in. just might be a while to get you place in line. AA is not known for mass growth and hiring. Some of the AA furloughees being recalled right now are from 10 years ago i believe

 

I'm not so sure I'd go that far... see below.

A rough calculation if everyone accepted, based on the minimum 35 % of each new hire class, AA would have to hire roughly 4000 pilots for everyone to be offered a position at AA.

As a newer hire at Eagle I can't say I'm too comfortable with our position right now. This agreement means squat if you no longer work for Eagle when your "time" comes.

 

So almost 8 years give or take depending on how many senior people with a good qol pass on the offer.

 

8 yrs to transfer to AA, Still Not Bad........

 

To clarify my above statement... When I say no longer work for Eagle, I mean when our flying is farmed out and you are transferred to the new carrier via the scope language.
