AAL to Close SFO Crew Base

In September and October, 240 pilots retired. (www.bloomberg.com) और अधिक...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]

This was intended as a reply to "mynewego" but the program started a new thread...oh, well more people will be notified.
Does AA have any pilots on furlough? Just curious.
Yes, approximately 650 yet to be offered recall. A little over 1000 offered recall and deferred.
Hmmm... That's a bit odd to me. Close the SFO crew base... "after unusually large numbers of pilot retirements left staffing levels 'critically short.'" ? "Short staffing levels" can't be the main reason they closed the base then can it?

United almost moved their base from SFO because of a demand by the city for the company to pay benefits to domestic partners through the entire company, not just in SFO. At the time the costs of treating High Five disease alone would have been onerous and there would be little change now except they are living longer with even pricier medicine. END SIMPLIFICATION
Frankly, I could care less which orifice an individual uses for personal satisfaction but there is no reason for other employees to pay the cost and to disadvantage the company which must pass them to the customer or the employee.
