There is no pilot shortage at mainline and given the fact that all three have developed street to hero programs to fill any voids they may have, but none of them have created any hard flows from their regionals other than AA. That shows they don’t have much interest in taking away pilots from their regional partners.

If you’re going to cite propaganda you should post the original source. This is old and essentially means nothing. All those stats are volunteer collected by pilots within the union. We have guys leaving constantly just going off the seniority list that no one knows anything about. It’s a pure fact that every month we have an excessive amount of guys being swept up by JB 3-4 years in and a lot from the right seat. LCC’s (primarily spirit) are given offers to our guys prior to one year on property. Mainline? Anywhere from 3-6 years LARGELY depending on your personal background and I’m not talking about military. We had a guy leave to United as an FO because of specific masters degree he held. This has been said a thousand times on these boards, it ain’t the airline name. You want a “guaranteed” class date with a major? 8-10 flow at AA’s feeds. Ask EDV how many people go Delta and even better how long they take....good joke.
