Or is it that some of the more senior guys whom were on furlough passed on recall in the winter and spring as to get some guys junior to them on the pipe line before accepting recall right before the payout window closed. For the July 10th class they had a huge amount of folks accept recall after they had bypassed in earlier months.
For the folks that don't know, the AA pilots on furlough must accept recall by August 1st to get in the payout that AA pilots will get during BK. It estimated to be worth 75-100K.
AMR didn't account for these many guys accepting last minute and had offered classes to the Eagle guys but many of the AA furloughs accepted recall at the last minute.
Parker is running AMR today, if he was going to do something to stop the flow he wouldn't be spending money in websites and roadshows "just to bost morale" because having guys accept flow just to get it pulled away and told it will be another 2 months before we can get you another offer does nothing to improve moral. These AA guys accepting recall helps AMR and possibly junior guys at Eagle as IF AMR gets serious about staffing Eagle properly on the CA side they have a window to catch up and it seems like they are working on it.
