If you are someone who does not currently meet these requirements then a realistic upgrade projection would be 18-24 moths. Keep in mind this is still one of the fastest upgrades in the regionals today. Only attrition to American was mentioned. What about every other Legacy, Cargo, LCC, Fractional, and Overseas that are all hiring? Not all PSA pilots are holding out for American....
Ahh, by the fact that you have used absolutely no numbers or anything, simply waved your magic wand as you spit drivel, I see we have attracted a used car salesman, uh Pilot "duper", to the discussion.
Okay I will bite that it may be a bit faster if you already have the time. However, then you just conclude that it WILL be 18-24 months otherwise. I presented actual numbers as to why it would be a little over 2 years, at BEST, if hired today. You just waved a wand and presented no actual reasoning.
As for attrition, well now you just proved you either have the attention span of an ant, or don't read well: I said PSA admitted attrition of 100 last year. No where did I say it was just from flow. At 4 per month, only 48 was flow. The other 52 was not flow. I then added 50 more with the modest assumption that you will be granted more flow this year, making 150.
I could go on but you have already probably stopped to look at a squirrel.
If you are reading this though, I hope you are not a christian person, because lying, especially to make others lives worse, will ensure your soul burns in hell. Generally, I have found car salesman to have already sold their souls though.
