Back to the OP
What is the average TT flow throughs have at time of flow?.. and PIC? The OP was discussing stopping the flow.. any discussion of doing UAL type where an interview is guaranteed... just not a job . That would make a lot of sense to me. My interview at the regional ( a WO of AA) was a joke. Asked me to read a TAF and brief an approach... that was it!.. not sure if it was the same for other applicants that day with little to no PIC. At least having to do the fit assessment / face to face interview could weed out the odd balls.
I can’t speak for PSA and Piedmont, but the guys currently flowing from Envoy definitely did not have that kind of interview experience. It was a very thorough interview in 2011. Experience levels probably also vary by which regional people flow from. Current envoy flows were hired in 2011. I think current piedmont and PSA flows were hired around 2014 or 15. Most of the Envoy flows probably have around 5-7k total time and 1.5-2k 121 PIC. I don’t know what the others have.
