Everything in aviation is a what if . What if another volcano blows and companies go under like a few years ago . What if there is another terror attack closing us airspace for over a week .
Point is this , currently I know guys who are flowing monthly , american is obligated to take from its feeders as long as guys pass the initial course . This is why you don’t see the street hires as you once did . All our apps are American , SOP aligned American now , uniform is american , as is our flight and commuting perks . Pay is being negotiated as we speak as is quality of life . If you are looking at a legacy carrier than the way to go is a regional wholly owned . Upgrade quickly you will just need 1000 hours 121 time .

IF they get it in a few years. That's the wild card. As the financial wizards say, "Past performance is no guarantee of future performance.".
Having it in one's pocket as an option is certainly a plus especially considering the low numbers of AA new hires who are civ-only street hires.
Lots of ways to look at these deals. No one has to be right or wrong.
