i feel they are marginally better.. Out of mdt there are still many 11 days off skd. I do see some lines that have 24 hour 4 days built... That's wonderful.. Now if they build all the lines like that.. I'm currently on a 4 day that is 20 hours... It's better.. Than say that 4 day 16 hour garbage

Well American is going to slow down hiring. But the good thing for PDT/ENY/PSA is they will be doing mostly all Flows, and Recalls. People off the street from other regionals will have a slim to almost impossible chance to get hired at American.

with american trying to use the flow to keep the pilot longevity low and less time at top pay, it's going to backfire eventually, when they are short on regional feed and can't cover their own routes.. Just my two cents..

I don't know if that is true.. I think it's just a way for them to build a hiring pool... So when a class doesn't fill up on flows and recalls they will pluck from the hiring pool with these poor people on deck just sitting and waiting.. Sooner rather or later american is just going to have to out right hire...

There are guys still in the pool but I don't see them getting a call till probably near the end of the year. That's why I said it will be hard as hell to get a job at American if you're not with one of the WO'ed.
However I agree with you they will need to work on staffing at the WO'ed. Maybe with just doing flows and recalls they will show they are serious about the flowthru thus maybe helping in recruiting at the WO'ed.
Should be an interesting summer. However I think people at the WO'ed right now will be pretty set in terms of upgrade time and flow. I'm sure there will be some that cry and complain! Like the PSA guy on crew news that complained about upgrading in only 2 years and then having to wait another 5 years to flow. Many would love that time frame to make it to a major and upgrade. hahahahah Oh well can't make everyone happy.
