No one knows for sure.
That is more pilots than currently are employed by all of the regionals combined. Not all hires at the majors will come from the regionals, but many will, if not most.
I think you answered my question with a question, but that's ok as your data was of interest. My conclusion is that PSA currently has flat career progression and that is informed by evidence. What will happen in the future (3-5 years) doesn't need my critical thinking, it appears to need HR's and the Operational Managers!
