Eagle on their website is calling for a reduction of 400 pilots. Now, what it doesn't specify is if that's for Eagle, mainline, or both. My guess is both. However, what is strange is that Eagle just picked up 30 new routes, including at least 1 new canada destination, KYKT, Kitchner, Canada... I guess we'll just wait and see...

The 400 pilot thing was from back when AMR said they're cutting 13,000 jobs.

The same 400 pilots that have forced the airline to cancel a large number of flights recently and adjust the summer schedule because everyone is "getting surgeries" over 50 retired earlier this month!

so this is what I am told the union is telling everyone.
1.they are looking for a fleet plan, and AMR has a plan for Eagle, they are not expecting massive furloughs, but short term there might be some pain, however the company is looking long term and is trying hard to hold onto staffing.
2. next spring we might see hiring due to the changes in laws, attrition, and other factors.
3.we will get ejets most likely, sounds like the 135/140s will go back at a 2 to 1 ratio for whatever comes. AMR has a deal with the bank of brazil.
4. someone has a deal for a small number of 50 seat flying for AA, pending the contract is tossed. Sounds like it might be about the size of the CHQ contract ending in the spring. I would think its XJT.
5.The union actually is trying to say PBS is a good thing. HAA
6. Team tony the management puppets are basically already road showing what we are running to the company to give up, and trying to make it sound like its a good thing.
cliff notes: expect to see another round of voluntary leaves this fall, and if the company needs to whipsaw a little they might furlough another 50 pilots, otherwise we will most likely have to hire next year due to attrition, new planes, more training bubbles, etc. ATR 135/140 will all be gone by the end of 2013 and expect another oh say 50, 70 seaters. The union wants a fleet plan and thinks they can get it for say 5 years for 250 planes, which is good since it might be something we can keep in a USAIR merger down the road.
All above is subject to change, and just the cliff notes I have heard is coming out of the union.
