If you are looking at anything beyond 5-10 years when it comes to regional airlines you are reading tea leaves. Who's to say in 5-10 years a new flavor of the month is more appealing to American than PSA and they don't start losing aircraft? Keep in mind a lot of the Aircraft PSA is getting are being transferred from somebody else. Contracts are made to be broken and if American is willing to transfer planes to PSA, they can be transferred away as well. Just like planes are being transferred to TSA now. Bottom line, go for what makes financial sense. First priority is getting to work, then pay rates. Contracts are pretty similiar but our pay rates are a little better at TSA and we don't have caps. SAP at PSA is nice but we get 150% for all open time pickups. Should be lots of incentive pay out there everywhere as the shortage of pilots escalate.
