I think the point all around gentlemen is that without trying to start a huge fight on here, the battle lies between the glass half full people, and glass half empty. Please read before flaming me. And I ask politely we discuss it, not argue. The TA is voted in, for good or for worse.

Glass half empty people can argue they will only take 4 a month, 48 a year (per contract), and the airplanes won't be growth airplanes, and the 30 won't come fully delivered until years from now.

The glass half full guys see airways taking minimum of 4, (which would be in seniority order per interviews. Ie, interview 7, take 4 they like) then after that they can hire out of PSA like any other airlines, perhaps an FO or junior captain who sucked off the chief pilot. You get my point. Airplanes- getting delivered as GROWTH airplanes, in an approximate 15 month span, growing to a 79 aircraft company. The quicker airways gets the first on property the freezes and caps begin, so this is advantageous for them. The sooner the rest are delivered, the cheaper PSA becomes for them. It costs a lot of money to bring on whatever AC it is, so you need a lot of the new type to make it worth it. Thirdly, we fly them at our negotiated rates we already had, which is a .03% increase per additional aircraft. No pay cut. Now, if you were affected by a cap or freeze, then that takes affect. Also, failing the interview once does not freeze your pay. Twice does. The fact that it freezes if you decline an offer is simply a business move on mainlines part to keep PSA young and cheap. Get them over there. By any logic, they are going to be less selective with PSA pilots so they can empty out top ranks and CONTINUE movement thus always keep pay longevity pay low. All that combined will move people along and over the next few years PSA will see a lot of movement.

The above are just two main theories. Neither is certain, and either could happen. I'm just pointing out what some people are ruining around here. Not trying to start a flame war. I am honestly trying to add to a conversation. The immature comments on this thread blow my mind.

I am again, simply showing two sides (very watered down) of opinions.
