PSA will have 900 pilots shortly and we only have 48 going per year.

Either way you look at this. The flow to mainline is only to keep people at the regionals. Mainline management knows that they have gotten away with murder the last 10 years and it is coming to an end. They are scrambling to make sure that the regional jets are staffed.

Again what we need our beloved union to do is get us all a number at mainline today. Then it wouldn't matter when they called you or how many they took in a year. Stay at PDT for 10 years longer but you will have a seat waiting for you at mainline. It seems to be the most logical decision mainline management can make. Unless they offer less and you take it.
