I’ve heard AA has wanted more flows from PSA ever since the SSP/flow program was put into place. Yet, we’ve always had an insanely small flow percentage, because our management claims they can’t afford more attrition. Although, piedmont and Envoy have about the same overall attrition percentage with about double the flow percentage. Right now PSA is flowing only 10 a month with more than 1800 pilots. Before that it was only 5 or 6 a month with 1500 pilots. And before that I think it was 4 until we got to about 900 or so Pilots.

Sounds like AA really does want more but for the last 4 years our management has their own way of thinking of how they think the flow numbers will work. By historical trends we won’t see a flow increase until we get to about 2500 pilots.
