Of course they did. They decimated us.
Here's a good read from the day:

What if we cut your hours to 0 per week for the next 3 months and just not call it a "lay off"?
Trust us.......

Because they hid behind the Bankruptcy laws that made it easy to start over and screw the employees and the bill collectors.
Those laws have been strengthened up a bit but AA has the BK king in control. AmericaWest, USAIR x2 and AA.

What really sucks is that some people that work in other fields were sent home but not layed off. The company will tell you that they will call you to work as needed. So now you can't file for unemployment because you were not let go. You were put on standby working one or two days a week for four hours a day.

You had to get me started on bankruptcy.
I remember one of our POS CEO's, in our revolving door of CEO's, posted on the bulletin board after a bankruptcy (paraphrase):
"Some of you are wondering why you were made to sacrifice during this bankruptcy and we gave bonuses to the management and executives. These are our key players and decision makers and we must keep them motivated, or else they will leave for other companies and become our competition."
Here's the pile of crap right here:

Ha! Anything’s possible- I’d be surprised to still be on the property come 5/1.
No, they’re all still here.

There are a lot of people here that are worried about a reduction in force, you can call it whatever you want.
If the airlines layoff all of us off we will now be eligible for unemployment, and whatever else the government is going to do for the un-employed workers of USA.
After the virus goes away, we would assume we would get recalled, but at that time we all would need to get re-badged at the airports we all work at. Background checks all take time. We also would have to get re-established into the medical plans, 401k, payroll, and AA and the Association will have to figure out what shift we will be working and days off. Also unless I am mistaken we will be bumping the IAM way. Not the old TWU juniority way. The new hires will not come back, since they all went back to the states they came from. Bumping could go on for months The government and the airlines will spend lots of money getting us back to work. That will also keep the pilots from coming back as well since there won't be mechanics there to release the books. There are so many things that cutting heads for a short time period it does not make any business sense. IMHO take a breath, AA is going to ride this out.
