I'm sure he does. I know a 8-9 Year AA DFW F/O who left for FedEx about a year or so ago (maybe slightly longer)

True but it's going to have a monumental impact on the rest of my career. Is what it is unfortunately....

Yes, we’ve all heard of that story. That says a lot more about the person that left than it does AA. Brilliant.

I'm not arguing that people haven't left AA. I am arguing they didn't do it for the reason he stated.

Im sorry for that FO who left for Fed Ex. Oof!

Yeah, he's pretty active on here, lol. He may chime in... The warm security blanket of 9 years at a legacy sure sounds amazing right about now but we all have our reasons

Thousands of pilots have had their career impacted by failures of their current airlines, and did not have the fortune to have a legacy carrier hiring essentially street captains into their EWR base.

You (we NK guys) aren’t getting great news but I’m very grateful I have a CJO in my pocket versus being on the street like many pilots have had to endure before me.

Pilot hiring stopped until June 2025? Deferred 787’s, cutting back more and more from Austin… AA is downsizing to try and get profitable. That’s just math, mathing.

stock at all time lows? $9/share

AA is not downsizing, it's slowing growth. Big difference. DL is also slowing growth.
