You definitely won't hold CLT right out of training and you most definitely won't hold a line in CLT very soon. As of June, the junior round 1 line holders in CLT are January 2015 hires. That fluctuates a bit based on how many lines are available to bid each month, but as of now that is what it is.

I'm not sure who told you that you would flow to AA in 3 years. I would honestly find it hard to believe even a recruiter would have told you that. To be honest, I wouldn't really consider one of the 3 AAG wholly owneds for a flow. You'll probably never flow to be honest. There will be furlough recalls and AA is shrinking the overall size of its fleet over the next few years. All of that will likely add up to less flows than what management and recruiters are projecting. The flows will create some movement off the top of the list over time, but I think there will be plenty of movement everywhere in the next couple years.

As for which airline is the "golden egg"? That's impossible to say. PSA was a golden egg a couple years ago when I got here. Now, not so much. This industry is a Ferris wheel. Those at the top will come down, and those at the bottom inevitably come up. It's a safe bet that if you aren't already on property at a regional when they get their "good news" and turn into that "golden egg" you speak of, then your window for benefitting from that good news is small if not already closed if you aren't already on property.
