Thanks and I understand. The positive I see is that there’s movement to AS period, albeit on whatever timeline may transpire; too many of these programs smell like nothing but recruiting tools for the regional and allow for the possibility of not getting any real opportunity with the mainline carrier at all. QX may be able to meter when & how many of their pilots enter the pool, but AS is contractually obligated to make 30% of the AS hires be from QX, right?

It wouldn't be unheard of to have 300 in the pool by the end of the year. Keep in mind QX opening up the interview process for the QX/30 is at the company discretion. AS has marked a goal of 150 pilots next year. Best case scenario 3-6 years to get a shot at AS position.
