Average civilian time is still 5500-7000 hours which is 6-7 years at a regional. Flow is 4-6 depending on when you are hired at Piedmont that is a guaranteed job just go to class. No going to job fairs getting resume ready paying consultants, updating your logbook.

Btw our junior upgrade is 6 months on property. We can get PIC at 1000 hours of 121 time. We can get hired at other majors just like everyone else. We are not locked into flowing. PSA had more pilots leave for Delta last month than flow to American.

What is the upgrade time at Endeavor now is it still 1,000 hours? I agree getting PIC time is better than hoping for a flow. It worked for 700 pilots but it's no guarantee that it will work for everyone. Smart guys are applying at all majors not just waiting for the flow. The flow is a last resort. You can even get hired at American before the flow by standing in line like everyone else and applying.
