Unless of course (at AA) you are an unlected union rep flying with your family to Hawaii. Then you, and your family go ahead of everyone else.Just as a "FWI" reference,
AA goes by "first come, first served", and that INCLUDES retirees(they do NOT make a distinction between active/retiree)
We also fly free (in coach) domestically.
they "open up" the "list" EXACTLY 4 hours before departure.
You can "list" at the counter at the airport, at a CTO(if there are any left), or , best of all you can "list" at home, on your PC
NH/BB's
Where is everyone?

Our retirees go in front of everyone...period.
So if I were still an active 30 year employee 3/76. And another person started ten years after me 3/86. But they decided to retire and I was still working, they would now be senior to me. :down: (until I retired of course)
Amongst the retirees, their seniority is based upon time worked, not seniority date. Whomever has the most years boards first.

Deleted,
Your example is not quite correct. A retiree has to have 25 years for boarding priority (BP6) over actives and their seniority is DOH. Retirees w/less than 25 yrs are boarded with actives (BP8) and years worked is their basis for seniority.

Thank you so much. That has been bothering me for 20 years. I was always told that retirees go in front of all employees with the bp6. At least this seems a little more fair. Good to know.
So my analogy only works once the retiree has more than 25 years even though the active employee may well have 30. Got it. Still somewhat unfair but MUCH better than I originally thought.
