If that's what you think, you my friend need a history lesson and need to look no further than envoy! We have a true flow and are getting metered to our minimum, even though AAG (previously AMR) has been crying longevity for years!! PLEASE don't tell me you are this naive! To top it off, who cares about longevity when they have you capped at a 12 yr pay scale? Once that quick upgrade dies out, nobody is going to be knocking at their door for a crappy contract, a
pref interview, and a scarlet letter on their resume.
Do you see now why that contract it God-awful? My opinion is that anyone going to PSA is destined for a LONG career there (unless they have some super good connections)
First off why does everyone think that just because you have a flow that you are stuck for years waiting. Did you mean you can't upgrade at PSA in 2 years and be a Captain for another 2 years and go to Delta? Or maybe United? JetBlue? UPS? FedEx?
There's tons of people that don't care about the flow at all. They just want to upgrade and chose a major. But in the end it's nice to have a flow in your back pocket if you need it. But all this stupid talk about being stuck at PDT/PSA because of a flow is stupid. We are still losing Captains and FO's to other airlines besides American.
