New flow plan is out, it has all upgrading FO in training by AUG 2013, this includes the leftover from two bids ago who were scheduled for the fall and all the ones from the last bid. That is 100 upgrades starting training in less than 3 months. It also has all current new hires finishing training by Aug, so most guys who have been going home will be in class very soon. Looks like it will be a busy summer at the school house. Before RJ Chimes in this good for us as we were anticipating the movement to go slower than this. Looks like the training pipeline will be cleared up by AUG. currently the school house is hiring instructors and the bases are hiring check airman in part as we will see check airman and instructors head to AA but also to account for increase in training.
Hopefully the movement continues but we still don't have a defined plan. We do have our union "talking" with management about out cost. Fun summer ahead.

This is just my guess...

Something has to give, either we are sending a huge amount of pilots to AA or we are not parking as many airplanes. But they are sending many upgrades to class in 2 weeks with a steady stream every two weeks.

Me neither, AE management is always behind in the staffing ball game!
They should started the upgrades at least by January. But they always wait till the last moment. Apparently they didn't learned from summer 2011.
At least now with FO with PIC Types, the training should be quicker.

To give them credit, I believe the school house has been saturated with FOQ stuff. That explains why we are seeing the upgrades finally going to class in Jun and July, once FOQ is complete. If anything, it's a little proactive - send the people to long term while FOQ is still finishing up, so when the upgrades hit the sims, FOQ should just be completed.
for the first time in AMR history

There's also been talk of the entire 824 going to AA within a years time.

Awarded, then you said that they would drag it out... Flow plan comes out and everyone who has an upgrade awarded will be in training by Aug. I don't trust management but currently they are unblocking open time, JM pilots and canceling flights due to lack of CA. Company knows they are short and will be sending pilots to upgrade training in the next 3 months.

The flow plan doesn't constitute an official notification but why would AMR create a flow plan completing all new hires who have been sent home by Aug and having all current upgrades in training by August to just say oh guys we were joking?!?! Things are not rosy and but man you need to stop with all the doom and gloom as it discredits you. You used to bring great point and make good conversation but fornthenlast few months you have gone over the deep end.

Thats just the reality of our industry, company. Seeing things as they unfold and being realistic might help some with their decisions. I truly believe AE will be here for at least another 5yr or so, but with less frames (120's) less pay, less benefits.
Thats just the reality.

The same can be said for other regionals. Some are getting new airplanes but they don't know how many total airframes they will have.
