Have a friend who works at PSA and says it's the worst career decision of his life. He said even Mesa would have been better for more reasons he could
List. He said he would never recommend anyone to an eagle Carrier?!?!

We all know the 2.5/6 yr projection won't happen for a while , I am optimistic the flow might be possible in 8-10 yrs . All depends if they can hire or if they will flow everyone off property and close the doors or just staple everyone into the AA seniority list

Have you seen AAG's debt load recently along the stock buy-back scheme of buying stock back at substantially more then it's worth or how about doubling down on fleet choices that are becoming obsolete because of the inability to acquire a critical part (a First Officer) in opposition to the rest of the industry ?
Just curious, but exactly what do you see as "competent" in regard to the majority of AAG's post merger moves ?

IMHO, I believe the shortage at the WOs are because Parker and AAG in general have created such a hostile environment at the WOs that potential new hires avoid in favor of better pilot-management relations for an overall better QOL at a regional. For example, SkyWest and Endeavor, who are leading on the recruiting front.

That and the fact there really aren't many pilots available to begin with.

Yea I don't know about that. Sounds a little dramatic. If it's so bad it isn't too late for your friend to jump ship and head on over to Mesa.

So are you saying Parker and Kirby aren't inept?

Stock prices are a bit like yoga pants. If your fundamentals aren't good, this is where they will be revealed. AAG is doubling-down on what worked when there was plenty of cheap labor, which is not the present or anywhere in the foreseeable future. Parker is a smart man, and competent, but a lot of dismal failures have been smart and competent and initially successful. It is possible Parker's success has led him to stop getting or listening to badly needed advice.
