Good Luck!
So says the guy with a 20 year wait for an interview, and 9,000 other qualified applicants all with PIC time all applying to be street hires.... meanwhile, AA is currently taking 62% from Envoy, plus a few from PDT and PSA and with recalls they are not hiring one single street hire.... so what is that PIC time worth right now for applying at AA?
As the shortage worsens, and the mainlines struggle to keep their wholly owned regionals staffed; how do you see them doing that? You guys can keep your great PIC time, it may help at United; but both Delta and AA clearly have the handwriting on the wall for where it's headed.
6 years street to AA. Best commuter policies in the industry currently, and upgrades that are created by flow and won't be based upon growth that eventually can't be staffed anyway.
It's a good time to be a pilot, and an even better time to be an Envoy pilot
