The AMR recalls are in the middle of our 1989 hires right now. Although nothing is certain in this funny industry it is certain that they will go back at the top of the pay scale because they were hired by TWA almost 20 years ago.

Most will go back between $108-116/hr. and will be able to excercise their TWA seniority (18 years) in STL (one of the few crumbs that the APA afforded to them).

I dont post this to offend you, just to show you what myself and my contemporaries are contemplating when faced with career decisions...best of luck.

When us TWA-ers said that the APA and AMR steamrolled us, did ya think we were kidding.

I'm a 1995 hire at TWA and my recall will be close to Summer '08.

And here's a "", right back at ya.

"Captain's Seat to the Street"..that's our motto at TWA.
