Rumor is that they are slowing down the MD-80 retirements and with the additional 35 737's coming next year, it makes sense that the school house is getting ready for something.

On top of this, AMR has to be watching DAL, especially with DAL's build up in NYC. With DAL putting down 50 seater's and pulling MD-80's out of the storage you have to wonder if they're not on to something

Plus we have the new VP of flight running around from base to base telling pilots that a recall is coming soon. October is the month AMR sets their plan in motion for the following year, so if there is any truth to any of these rumors, we'll know in the next 2 or 3 weeks.

I heard from an APA rep that they were preparing for recalls in October but word came to put everything on hold because of some high level talks going on at HDQ about something he couldn't talk about.

I'm in the crapper too , along with the s*#! sandwich handed to us. I was just posting a visual of SLT today vs. the STL of the 90's. Sounds like Delta may have an eye on St. Louis...

Eagle is adding instructors asap as well and is rumored to have stated hiring of 300 in 2011. This would seem to support the theory that our remaining 180 renumerated flow-throughs will be transferring to AA next year, after the 100ish furloughs from earlier this year. So maybe a few hundred vacancies at AA next year?

I wonder where APC got that 300 number from, wish they would say.
