Okay, so we know, supposedly, WHERE you got this from. but HOW did you get this? Went to a career fair? word of mouth? on an AE website? Made it up?
exactly. also could be a tactic of theirs to make us think to vote YES to get rid of all chances of evil.

Then senior management must be lying in negotiations, why do I say this?
LAX goes skywest, 11 aircraft means excess 99 pilots.
ATR returning to lessor 25 aircraft for 225 excess pilots, makes on these two items 324 excess pilots.
Management says AA will increase there contract feed with other carriers, which means a reduction in flying at the current AE, so I would ask where is the flying coming from if AE has 324 excess pilots and wants to hire 400 in 2013?
The 324 plus 400 for total 724 pilots equates to 80 aircraft being introduced to the current AE airlines without any parking of other aircraft.
So why is ALPA willing to push a poor contract on the pilots at AE?

As far as where this came from, one of the many official sources was a letter sent by N.A. in the hiring department to all furloughed pilots who have been recalled.
But like you, many of us are still confused why there is a plan to hire so many more pilots. The general consensus from the union (fwiw) is it is to cover attrition which has been on the order of 20-30/month and is expected to continue or increase as hiring else where picks up.

........who is a management lackey. They want to ensure a positive outlook so the TA will pass, thus throwing handfuls of verbal sugar out to the pilots is in their interest.
If you lick it, you'll find it wasn't sugar at all but sawdust spray-painted white.
