AE has been wholly owned by AMR corp and has been in business to support AA. AMR has always considered the idea of contracting out AE's services to feed competing airlines as counterproductive to the core business. Therefore, AE has never really gone out to bid on flying for other airlines. Yes, it has done some insignificant code sharing with a few airlines, but nothing big, by intent.

However, with the likely spinoff, AE will compete as aggressively for major feed contracts as any other carrier out there. I'm SURE that in a few years, the company formerly known as American Eagle, will have multiple feed contracts with different mainline airlines.

Vacancy bid coming out today. Essentially Maybe a displacement.

AE will be hiring 150 pilots in the next few months.

Committee member turned in this receipt for reimbursement as "snacks" at the late night meeting on AUG 30th. Our union dues hard at work here..

A call to the establishment for a detailed receipt revealed this:

Fantastic. Old School Union Thuggery at it's best. Do they start off all their meetings with a moment of silence for Brother Hoffa?

This is indicative of a leadership that has lost it's compass...maybe a recall election?

But but but, we are sooooo over staffed! We have 3200 pilots on property with only ~260 aircraft. We could easily loose 800 pilots and not feel a thing.

Oops, sorry, thought I was on a different forum.
