Eagle/AA Movement

I hear there will be some flow-ups soon from Eagle into Mainline due to retirements at mainline. Any truth to this?

The movement will be like passing a gall stone or impacted colon. Slow and painful.

35 Eagle Captains will go to AA in June 2010. Anything beyond that is pure speculation.

Correct. The flow-through agreement has expired and these are flowthroughs that should have been at AA previously (according to the arbitrator).

So not retirements, but old displaced AA guys?

The reason for these 35 AE CAs moving to AA is an arbitrator's ruling from a greivance that was filed a long time ago. It doesnt have anything to do with AA retirements/growth/etc. There are lots of AE CAs with AA seniority numbers, but it will take growth and/or retirements on the AA side to trigger those movements.

none, it was mostly flow backs until they were recalled. then we parked i believe 22 saabs and 9 e135. 31 times 9 279 less slots. 22 new crj at 9 per is 198 for a total reduction of 80.

Looking at our last seniority list from April 10 we have about 1000 pilots who were hired between 1/1/04 and 5/21/08(bottom of the list). Probably double that number were hired, but have since left. Approx 2700 pilots in the company currently.
