found a little info to add to the AA tide of woes to quote possibly from one who works for them, Oscar Yankee.

Well std. requirements are first of all the right to fly Danish registred aircraft - which means a danish or a JAA license, preferably with endorsements for the Citation (2 I think) BE200 and BE1900. While chaps with this profile are somewhat rare, less will probably do it, but everything boils down to the old supply & demand thing.
Std. contracts are for 3-6 months on and then off untill they need you again basically. Some flexibility is expected though. Generally it is a good outfit. Treat them well, and they will treat you well....
so where do these kenyan aircraft fit into the picture ?
also rumoured is that the one aircraft on station for the UN is owned by no other than raytheon. bearing out the points made by current limiter.
As for AA treating well. "3 to 6 month on the off until they need you," and $3500 a month to work in the conditions they do, with nothing for the time you are not needed. Is this really treating employees "well" , I certainly think not.
Perhaps it will not be such a bad thing for AA to disappear from the contract market all together,
