You guys can't always play that safe card and scream: COMAIR anytime something like this happens. These are completely different companies under different circumstances...

Furthermore, the TA we were being forced fed these past few months is gone. All flow through agreements are still in place. All aircraft ordered by AMR are still coming.

Beyond that whatever happens is pure speculation at this point. Just relax. New hire classes are NOT being canceled, and there is no reason to cancel them. Hiring is not stopping. Retirements at AA will continue and probably pick up pace.

AMR needed restructuring and that is what will happen now.

This will eliminate the desire for folks to make AE a career and it will revert back to a regional stepping stone...probably the way it should be. I also wouldn't be surprised if the jets STAY for quite some time.

This is exactly why I think Eagle has been on a hiring binge. Sadly I suspect they are going to pull feed from the mainline and put bigger planes at Eagle. Just a guess. I bet you won't see hiring slow down either.

Let this be a lesson to all in the volatile industry. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Get a second career outside of Aviation because there will forever be instability, mergers, acquisitions, bankruptcies. If you come into this industry thinking that the Airline is going to treat you with respect and dignity, your sadly blinded by ignorance. Protect yourself, Protect your family. Get hired, Get your experience, Move on. Expect the worst and Hope for the best and you will never live a day with heartburn and disappointment. Never allow an Airline to divide the pilot group. Ok I digress... Fly safe, have fun and keep the blue side up!
