Read the fine print. The letter is a bit ambiguous on that point. They say if the LAX-PVG route is abandoned that the Mandarin speakers will be furloughed first - not if the furlough is due to cutbacks elsewhere.Can't imagine AA furloughing right now because they would have to give up on the mandarin speakers. Remember, they are the ones to be furloughed first!
The article cited on this site says: "Available seats on American and regional carrier American Eagle will rise 3 percent, down from an earlier plan of 4.3 percent". Not good news, of course, and there is no breakdown as to what cuts will be taken by AA or AE, but it doesn't make furloughs look likely in any case.With the announcement that AA is trimming down capacity
for 2011; I was wondering if AA is able to continue with the recalls or the opposite. Furloughs!!!!

Hope you are right

The worrisome issue is not necessarily the one point reduction in the planned capacity increase for 2011 that was disclosed yesterday - the real scary issue is the company's next decision if fuel stays north of $3/gal. Will it be to park dozens of MD-80s? Will it be to cancel the planned launch of LAX-PVG?
How much does fuel cost in Europe? Fuel has been more expensive than over here for as long as I remember, they've had $5/gallon gas for a long time as well yet the sun still rises and sets everyday and the people of Europe pay their bills, live their lives (longer than we do), they fly around on vacation (more than we do), get sick(not as much as we do and they dont go broke because of it).
The spike in oil is an emotional response to the uncertainty cause by uprisings in the mideast. There's no shortage, just an irrational fear that ther might be . Lets see how long it lasts.
FWAAA - the company was going to park a bunch of 80s anyway.

The FA recalls are driven mainly by attrition, and the fact that the 737's replacing the MD80's require four FA's instead of three.The announcements of hundreds of FA recalls from furlough make it sound like the earlier plans did not include too many MD-80 retirements, but I've been wrong before.
Good info here, thanks and hopefully we wont see any furloughs for a long long time.The FA recalls are driven mainly by attrition, and the fact that the 737's replacing the MD80's require four FA's instead of three.

Of those in the first batch to receive the recall offer, 127 accepted and 20 declined.It will be interesting to see how many accept the recall.
It's been about eight years since they where forlough.
