I feel like if I talked to you in the flight deck it would mostly be about SOAR.

people call you a troll but just in case you really are this unstable seriously consider speaking to SOAR.

good luck

Lol, I think you mean I’ll SOAR right to the unemployment line. Unless my other job holds up that’s the plan. Still have to pay bills each month but you guys seem to forget that.

These typically go very senior at AA. It's a blank line but you can pick up as much open time as you want. Basically build your own schedule. Or take the month off.

Even if hiring stops, they still need people to upgrade - which points towards continued vacancy postings.
No vacancy screen yet :/

Not a big deal. Company attempting to alleviate surplus of pilots due to Boeing’s continued failures.
Very few Empty Lines being offered. I was going to bid for one, but not offered in my seat.
Don’t think it’s necessarily a silver lining for junior FOs though. Not likely much of a change for those that don’t get an Empty Line. You’ll see it when the LPAs for May are published early next month.
Few more COLAs being offered than empty lines, but not many overall.
The amount of copium in this thread is absolutely hysterical.

History repeats itself. UAL will hire right up until they furlough. This time is no different.
Also love that the blame is being placed on Boeing, when the real showstopper is that the FAA completely axed your ability to issue type ratings because the wheels are literally coming off your operation.

Account registered today. Yep, that tracks. I'm guessing all this garbage is the same one or two losers on APC.

LAXtoDEN, is that you again or your identical dipsh!t twin?

Read, inform yourself. You literally have no idea what you’re talking about. History repeats itself is exactly right…
