While you correctly point out that the current PSA SSP is a turd, do you really think that the regional segment is going to survive, as it is now, over the next 20 years? Heck, even 5 years? The Big 3 Legacy carriers alone have more retirements over the next decade than all the current regional airlines have pilots.
If I was a new hire I'd choose a REGIONAL with a Actual Guarantee Flow-Through agreement (NO interview required) to AA. Envoy (gets 50% of all AA classes, 30/month) or Piedmont (3 per month). Think ahead & be ahead of the curve.
As eaglefly keeps pointing out, very soon Envoy is going to have to hire a LOT of pilots to keep that flow going. How's that going to work out for you, when everyone on here insists that the pool of pilots to draw from is drying up?
