On Oct. 6, American Airlines announced that it would be recalling almost 450 furloughed flight attendants over the next few months. Is this the sign the industry has been looking for? Is the end of the hiring freeze over?
Included in that group were 227 flight attendants offered recalls that went out in mid-October. One question was how many of them would actually want to come back to American?
The answer Friday was: most of them.
The Association of Professional Flight Attendants said that 221 of the 227 flight attendants had accepted and would be returning.
The recalled employees are supposed to return to their base on Dec. 17, with most going to New York LaGuardia. The exception, APFA previously said, would be foreign-speaking flight attendants, who be based in Miami.
American is set to send out letters to the other most-senior flight attendants on the recall list by Dec. 31, with a return to work in the first quarter of 2011.
