For now.... Just a little over a year ago weren't you all about to be at a 3-4 year upgrade? If the 220ish go to AA and the other 800 go as was agreed upon prior to bankruptcy once again AE will become relatively quick with an upgrade..... And that 10 year CA will not be so junior any more.......
PDT last I checked wasn't MDT the base where 10 years as a CA would put you bottom reserve nearly? I know there were some bases like that.... DAY for one with PSA there are a lot of nearing 10 year CA's that are barely holding onto a line..... Or bidding the last few lines or even bypassing in hopes of getting a better secondary line....
Anyways my other thought is which of the three have the better contracts? I hear PDT isn't terrible but really have no clue. PSA is not anything to write home about and cost the company very little compared to others.... Wasn't AE one of the best out there for a "regional"? Just thinking again IF I were worried about cost and going to try to reduce such in a combined airline would it not make sense to trim it where it cost the most?
Just thinking again with PSA the one, few things, we have going for our pilot group are we are all qualified on the 700's and it'd be easy to pull 200's today and put a 700 on property tomorrow and it would not cost one dollar more in training......
