Looking on the PSA website flow time is estimated to be 6 - 7 years, while Piedmont website talks about ~5 years. QOL is a big factor for me. Also, at 40, being able to flow to AA in a few years would be really nice (the sooner the better).
Is it true that PDT offers a faster flow? If so, why would it take longer at PSA?
As far as I can tell pay and bonuses are fairly similar.
Any thoughts, recomendations or things to consider between the two?
Any advice is highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Going to any airline purely for a flow is foolish. It's nice to have in your back pocket but chances are you can get hired at a different major long before you flow. PSA's is longer because we have more pilots and are only sending 5/month. I'm not saying PSA (or any other AAG WO) is bad but flow should be like the 5th reason to pick a regional.
