As far as CLT, since training takes so long, folks are able to get it by the time they’re done with training.
If the DCA base allegedly in the works pans out in 2019, there will be some shifting around. Also, PSA is projected to lose 24 50 seat aircraft in the next 2 years or so. If PDT is chosen to cover that then you’ll see a CLT expansion. As others have said, a bunch is up in the air right now that could affect timelines for line pilots in CLT, but there’s also training center instructor options that will get you there.
Yes PSA will eventually lose the 50 seaters (CRJ 200s) only to be replaced by CRJ-900s. 15 of the 200s will start going away this year when the new 900sstart to come online.
PSA will also see a big increase of DCA CRJ-200 flying to replace the TSA flying at least for the short term. We are going up to 100 flights a day out of DCA starting in Jan.
