American cancels flights as pilots call in sick
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- American Airlines has canceled more than 300 flights since Sunday and will cut back on the number of flights through the end of October, because pilots, unhappy with their labor contract, have started to call in sick, the airline said Wednesday.

I said it was fixing to get ugly.
Yeah... I could see that one coming. And the ones flying are nit picking the planes apart... I am sure that there Maintenance Control is at an overall high number of calls.
What's the average AA pilot age now?
They haven't hired hardly anyone in the last 10-15 years..
This is happening to ALL carriers, overseas, you just see 20-40% of flights canceling on the last week of the month!

They probably won't be hiring much of anyone until after they emerge from BR, and get thru all the retirements. Cancelling a flight used to be a last resort but now it's a tool for reducing capacity as well. Like I said, it will get ugly before it's done.
52 is the average age of the pilots
so what...the important thing is their waist size....
A lady friend of mine (who was of non-southern heritage) used to laugh her head off at me for saying "fixing to"!
As you said, NON SOUTHERN HERITAGE.LOL
bettya they are balding too....
