Guys and gals..........if you're already at a DAL or UAL regional, I'd stay put. As the regional F/O crisis deepens, DAL and UAL will counter with similar "cradle to grave" pipeline paths. You'd be better off continuing to accrue seniority where you are and be patient for the match play that will have to occur to prevent poaching vs. trusting Parker.
Parker is not known for his honesty and I'd consider this a sucker's play for his benefit. try not to get dazzled by what appears to be tasty candy, but that actually is awful.
Just sayin..........

You're basically stuck going through one of their regionals to get to AA if not from the military, or extremely well connected. I haven't heard of anyone getting on at AA from Endeavor, whereas Delta and United are taking the most of our guys. United is taking guys who got the double no from the DAL SSP.
I think this is very smart on the part of Dougie, he is ensuring he has pilots to fly at these 12/4 rates. If you say it is dumb, and people will leave, well, that just simply makes an AA WO regional even more attractive for a newbie.

If they did, it would make AA regionals even look more attractive to newbies, and get current regional pilots to go over there. There will be no canceled flights, that is what a meaningful flow does for you.

That is correct. It was a great move on multiple accounts for AA. Not only will the have the cheapest regional feed for many years, they will also have the recruiting advantage over Delta and United with a decreasing pilot supply pool. It will be tough to get on at AA as a civilian pilot if you are not at one of the three wholly owned airlines. It would be interesting if UAL or DAL decided to hire hundreds of PSA/PDT/ENV pilots in just a few months span and force AA to cancel flights.
