Our flow will increase. It isn't going to stay at 5 /month indefinitely. And I'm talking more so about the overall "big picture". American seems to be taking a completely different approach than DA and UA. American, way more than the others is setting themselves up to try and maintain a larger regional network than their competitors. Which makes sense because they are a larger airline than either DA or UA. They are going for a cradle to grave approach which I don't think is necessarily stupid from their perspective. It helps make costs manageable and predictable. DA and UA seem to want to focus way less on their regionals and take back as much flying as is economically feasible to mainline. Which is good for regional pilots in the short term because it equals more mainline jobs. But what about 5+ years from now? American is setting up the infrastructure to offer a relatively streamlined career experience which I think long term will actually help them recruit pilots.
