agreed.

That level of flow would poach pilots from everywhere else to come here.

He asked if it was possible, not probable. With the flow working that well, the line would be out the door to get in here. If ours does, then PDT's would too, and their apps would increase also.

It would create the dynamic of being able to go to a place like Mesa and upgrade fast and compete with 10,000 other regional pilots for a job at United... or going to ENY/PDT and upgrading in 2-3 years and flowing to AA in 6.... meanwhile the other guys at independants are enjoying their left seat regional job still competing for that United job. Eventually AA and Delta will likely both funnel pilots through their WO's; meaning if you aren't in one of the flow programs, your choice will only be a LCC or United.
