American plans to recall furloughs

I wonder how many of these guys will accept recall? 10%?

That sounds about right. After being furloughed for 11 years, you would think one would move on with their life and eventually stop looking back.
 
These recalls will include current Eagle pilots with AA numbers. I believe that we have approximately 120-150 pilots at Eagle with AA numbers.

When Pan Am recalled in 1987 they had about a 90% return rate from guys who had been furloughed for close to 20 years!

I remember talking to one pilot who was a Bank vice-president and he said he didn't even think twice about coming back...

Don't under-estimate the allure of this job...

True but look at the pay back in 1987. Much different job back then.

Just curious, do years spent on furlough count towards your years of seniority? if they wre 1st year FO's and on furlough for 10 years, 11th year FO pay is much different than coming back to 1st or 2nd year FO pay.

How does it work for the Eagle guys? Do their years reset when they move to AA?
 
Seniority and longevity both stop while on furlough. For Eagle flowthroughs, they all start at year 1 for the payscale but they keep company (AMR) longevity for other benefits (vacation time, 401K, etc)
 
I know at least one senior Chautauqua captain that was furloughed TWA, who went back.

Did all Eagle guys get a seniority # at AA? I somewhat recall something about Eagle giving new-hires last year a seniority # because they needed pilots.

There are 3 groups of Eagle pilots that can go over to AA. Only the first group about 200 have AA seniority numbers and will be recalled. The other two groups will be new hires at AA and go over at no fewer then a set amount depending if you are in the 2nd group (The 824) or the 3th group the rest of the pilots hired before the cut off date.

Where do you fall in that?
 
God help me if I am still at Eagle when my time comes to move over to AA. But I will be in the very back end of the 824 or the top of the 3th group.
