As of this very minute, the plan is still to
hire 100+ pilots at AE. It's clear you don't
understand the diff between Flowthroughs
and Flowbacks.

Am I right or am I wrong that AE still has guys with AA numbers and there was talk of them going back. Dont get your panties in a wad....

Your post said AE flowbacks....it's flowthrough's. Flowbacks would be folks coming from AA to AE. You got your "flows" backwards.

I was a poolie and a resent RE-hire in this latest round of interviews. I guess I'm just a little pessimistic....

Lots of talk going around that the 175 furloughs are to make room for nearly 200 AE Captains going to AA. Its likely a legal arbitration that is forcing AA to provide "room" for AE Captains. It is something that should have happened in 2007 but didnt. Unfortunate for the AA furloughs, but possibly should have been done properly years ago.

The AA furlough situation may or may not have something to do with the Eagle flowthrough grievance. Timing, method and numbers are suspicious though.
