No, not surprised at all. Just putting it out there for those who think they're gonna start going in August. I do think the 824 will go EVENTUALLY. The key will be how long eventually turns out to be. And unfortunately, AMR has a bad track record in this area.
They did cancel one class because training dept. is backed up. They need he pilots at AA more than Eagle. |
Road shows for the 824 start next week, FWIW

They can do all the Roadshows they want. That doesn't mean the 824's are leaving soon. Remember kids, they have to keep the moral up somehow.

Flowthru shut down at least for 2 months for now. It will be interesting how many of the 824's will get to flow to the land of rainbows and unicorns as the date of the merger becomes closer.

It's very simple, the training department at AA is backlogged. AMR actually tried to invite the last number of numbered guys ahead of schedule and just at the last minute over 30 AA pilots on furlough accepted recall. The class is full of AA pilots and the training center is already backlogged. This will likely be the tune for August as well since the payout date gets closer those who were waiting for junior folks to get on property first so they had a little cushion when they hit the line accept. But please tell me how US Airways management who will lead the combined umbrella will just crap all over the MOU and **** on the 824 agreement. Parker has repeatedly said that it will be first QT 2015 before they have a single certificate. |
There are about 1,200 undeferals left. They are slowly coming back pushing AE flows and the 824's down.
It could be months or years for the flow to be over with. |
The deferrals will stop coming back after the payout is over.

Skywest is in a great position. Why again should someone come to AE? |
I doubt you will lose your chiefs. US Airways has 2 regional airlines. Both have their own Presidents and Vice Pres. Parker doesn't have the time or energy to manage the wholly owned regionals. My prediction is that there will be a merger of Airways and American. Then there will be three regionals under the umbrella. But..... From what i hear the Mainline Airways pilots have a combined seniority list that includes PSA/Piedmont pilots. I assume to bring the number of mainline pilots at airways look higher. There has always been rumors of a flow thru from the wholly ownes to mainline but nothing ever became of it. Parker can run a better airline that Horton. And don't flatter yourself too much. American does have some nice airplanes but you are plagued with some stale old crusty f/a's and gate agents like airways. Personally after reading the non-rev travel for express carriers, Airways system is much better. |
In one of those roadshows today, they announce that in FACT, they will meter the 824's to AA because AE cant hire enough. This will take at least 3yrs min for all of them to go. Lots can happen in 3yrs....

I was at a roadshow today, and they said they don't know if they will meter yet, it was specifically asked. But since we're supposed to be down to 120 emb's by 2016, it may work itself out. But everything is a variable at this point. Hell, I may win the powerball this weekend too?

A couple of weeks ago I heard it was "definitely not" regarding metering. Now it's "we don't know". In a month or so, it will be...............well, I think you get he idea.
