Can anyone post the total number of new-hires at AA, US-West, and US-East, since the merger got announced on Feb 14 2013?

I'm not sure how this works with flows, furloughs, etc... I'm looking for the number of how many should all fall junior to pilots on one of the lists when the merger got announced.

Thanks!

That announcement date is not necessarily the date that will be used for seniority integration. It will most likely be the POR date, since that was the date of the official merger. The merger was not certain until that date, especially due to the DOJ suit.

Ok then how about the number of newhires since the announcement date and the number of newhires sinces the POR date.

What research have you done that motivated you to say this texaspilot76?

UAL, DAL, the legendary US Airways Nic-award all used the merger announcement date.

Why would the wheel be reinvented at this point?

The leadership of APA and USAPA are both failing newAmerican pilots. Half of all US Airways pilots will be retired in 6 years. This merger protocol agreement fiasco is very shortsighted. Why are the unions not focusing on a seamless merger to drive growth.

Delta is laughing its way to the bank.

Why would it really matter which date is used? Airways was the only side hiring during that period. If I'm not mistaken, AA's first new hire class in over a decade was right around the POR date...

As far as I can tell US has hired 115 since Jan. 1 and around 330 since the merger announcement in Feb. 2013.

It's the AA furloughs. Historically (fbw44 correct me of I am wrong) the AA furloughs will be put behind all on property before announcement. Not the US guys hired after announcement date. I believe historically it is all DOH after announcement.

(I can guess when you got hired TXpilot)

UAL/CAL was a glimpse at how MB will work. On that SLI, furloughs were not "put behind" at all. Many went very far up the list. So "historically", now that MB is the platform for SLI, furloughs are no longer punished for being furloughed

Good deal. I wouldn't want to be either.

375 have been hired on the east behind the Feb 11, 2013 class.

After the DOJ filed suit, the merger was in jeopardy. There were people that accepted the offer to work at US Airways, knowing that there was a distinct possibility that they could be working for a stand alone US Airways. It was not until the settlement date that the merger seemed certain.

POR was the effective date of the merger. That's what needs to be used. Using the announcement date would be like saying, "Hey man, I'm going to buy your car. Let me go ahead and have it and ill pay you in a few months."
