Two things. It’s in the HR section of the secure part of the website. Second, I said there are “plans.” No one creates a form and posts it to their website without having a reason to do so. Regardless of whether they make it mandatory or not, that meets the definition of planning.

Got behind the hiring curve? High outside attrition? Cannot attract new hire pilots? Schoolhouse capacity limits? Or what?
As reference, AA last full hiring year brought in 78 per month on average. There was no last half of December class, and a few other smaller classes due to the AA schoolhouse being full (or instructors taking vacation.)

And currently at a maximum of 6 per month, and cannot increase? I’d be interested in why.

Looks like a lot of schoolhouse staff took vacation in June and July. Back to normal for August. August had the standard 2 classes. They were full.

Hmm, where are you looking? There is no one on the APA seniority list with a hire date in August of 2019....

The reason August 2019 had no hires was the schoolhouse was jammed with those on the Mad Dog getting trained on other equipment. Thus, no hires. The last day it flew on a “regularly scheduled flight” was right after Labor Day 2019. Trust that makes sense. Also the reason I did not use 2019 data.

Pumped for the pilots at 9E. They had an industry-leading contract and now this just makes it 100% the place to be. Trip/duty rigs. 12.5% 401K match. Much better pay. If you’re junior at an AAG WO or looking at potential places to work not sure why you wouldn’t be looking at Endeavor.
