Thats the most hilarious thing I read in last two days. Even though they still have time to sort it out but I’m projecting atleast some kind of turmoil in the super-peak season of Christmas.
Anyone thinking to book in AA should reconsider in my opinion.
A technical glitch has reportedly left thousands of December American Airlines flights without scheduled pilots — a mistake that, if left unsolved, could imperil the status of thousands of flights during one of the year’s busiest holiday travel periods.
The Allied Pilots Association, a union that represents thousands of American Airlines pilots, said that the computer system that rejects or approves pilots’ time off requests malfunctioned, allowing too many employees to take vacation time during the holidays, Reuters reports. More than 15,000 flights scheduled to take off between Dec. 17 and 31 may be disrupted or canceled due to the error, according to Reuters.
“The airline is a 24/7 op,” American Airlines captain Dennis Tajer told CNBC. “The system went from responsibly scheduling everybody to becoming Santa Claus to everyone. The computer said, ‘Hey ya’ll. You want the days off? You got it.’”

Re: American Airlines glitch: Pilots taking vacation during holiday season
Pilots union is so strong that they wont let anyone from outside being hired for this. Airlines would end up cutting thick checks for the pilots cancelling their time off alongwith other perks.
