With the recalls and re-assignments going on, is AA keeping up with attrition?
Also, what is the average age of our membership?
– Terry Buck Inspector Hgr 5&6
Over the past twenty-four months:
Average monthly attrition rate 18.7
Within these averages:
Average monthly retirees per month 8.6
Average monthly resignations/terminations 6.9
Average monthly deceased 3.2
The average age of the Local 514 membership is 49.7 years.
Therefore, in the last two years American Airlines has not kept up with attrition and is now in the process of playing catch up. AA has sent recall notices to 215 of the 350 remaining OSMs on the recall list and 80 of 130 AMT’s as of Friday, January 14.
We anticipate that AA will exhaust the entire recall list for all our members in the very near future and start the process of upgrading members in accordance with Article 12M of the TWU/AA contract.

Vice President TWU 514
