AA slows hiring
 

A friend of mine just got this email:



Subject: American Airlines Pilot Class Date


Good afternoon,

Congratulations on successfully completing the pilot interview process at American Airlines. We are very passionate about our future, and believe that you, as a future American pilot, will play a critical role in the continued success of our airline.

I know you are waiting to be assigned your class date, and I want to share some information I learned this week. We are currently experiencing quit a backlog in Training. Due to this backlog and in conjunction with the typical holiday training slow-down, we are reducing the number of pilots we are bringing on board in 2014. If the current plan holds, the majority of you will be offered your class date sometime within the first quarter of 2015.

I apologize for the delay. I realize how critical this class date is for you, your families and your future planning, so I will share information with you as quickly as I can. Please feel free to contact me at ________ with any questions.

Thank you all and we will be speaking with you soon.

An infinitely more accurate thread title would be "AA slows training pace."

consider it edited.

Well, it's nice they know what is happening at the company up to a week out.

There goes the flow.

Nothing a little fiber can't fix.

And at his age he needs the fiber.

By the time anyone makes left seat at a major...

they'll need a colostomy bag!

Do the 1 year upgrades at US count?

No because that seat pays like a regional captain.

Yeah, you're right... 117 bucks an hour second year pay is terrible.

But but but delta pay parity..... Except group I :mad:..... But better than any regional captain slot for sure !

Yup.... You can make that at any regional remember ;)

In addition to that 16% 401k contribution. It's not delta but to compare it to a regional? Hockey has taken too many checks to the glass maybe?
