I will agree though, that reserve times will EVENTUALLY drop. Right now captain attrition is only about 10 each month, but we are upgrading 25 a month. I think attrition will start to pick up since the majors haven't begun their huge hiring waves yet, but I Don't think that will happen until later this year or possibly into early 2018.
I will also agree the remaining 700s will increase the total lines, but with the total attrition company wide...even if the company doubles pay for everyone, I don't see how we're going to get every 700 that's yet to come over. Right now we're just keeping up with taking 1 a month. At that rate it'll be almost 3 years until we get the last 700. But you never know, American might have big plans we haven't even thought of yet. I would guess if we do receive all of the 700s that probably means we're going to be rollin in the dough and/or have a seniority number at mainline.
The next year will be very interesting to say the least.
the one a month transfer rate is the rate they said they would come at when we started to take them again in april or march. thought that it was funny. 1 a month. 35 airplanes. 3 years......sloowwwwwww growth.Originally Posted by Thedude86
I don't think reserve times for captains are dropping just yet. I've been keeping track the last few months since it effects my decision to stop bypassing. Maybe you're using other information. I'm using TallFlyer's charts he puts out each month. I have screenshots of each month from April to July. Although negligible, captain reserve has actually gotten longer in every base except DCA. It hasn't really increased by much, so you could argue that it's basically staying steady. I will agree though, that reserve times will EVENTUALLY drop.
