All of us were sent home after a certain point. Some of us were lucky to get our checkrides in, some did not get their checkrides in. For those of us lucky to be able to take our checkrides, most of us have been waiting to get our LOFTs in. It's been almost 2 weeks now for me.

I'm delayed because our sim was double booked, we were at FlightSafety and a foreign carrier was already in the sim. There was no opportunity to get caught up and the entire balance went out the window. Other people are delayed because they unsat lessons. Either way, too many people not enough sims, instructors nor checkairman. I feel sorry for the people that make these schedules.
Bonus - I'm getting paid.
Downside - all knowledge is evaporating.
Studying, but it just isn't quite the same.

The 824 don't have numbers! The only ones with numbers are the 250ish atop the seniority list and the few (around 20) AA Pilots that we have left at Eagle.

in writing first that we WILL be guaranteed a position signed by the APA and AA before I would call it a flow.

You mean like the one for the current guys with numbers, the ones that got numbers over 10 years ago! You know we will probably not see that, there is no incentive for them to offer that. AMR wants to outsource flying not keep it in house. They rather hire guys at AA from other places so they don't have to train a replacement. But right now they want to move senior guys over but once we lower our pilot seniority average and it becomes harder to find replacement it will be interesting what they will do.
