Final questions that really don't matter but here goes:
Since I am putting such value on the pension and probably wouldn't leave AA if there was no pension, can you explain the hours required to work as a pilot to have a good year as far as the pension goes? I read 750 hours but not sure how that equates to in pilot speak.
Also, can you straight drop trips at UPS or is that basically impossible?
Thanks for all the answers

I read 750 hours but not sure how that equates to in pilot speak. 815 credit hours/calendar year, that’s significantly less than min guarantee. Also, pension continues to accrue while out on long term medical.
Also, can you straight drop trips at UPS or is that basically impossible? No, you can throw trips on the trip board, but it’s yours until another pilot grabs it.
