UAL is in second place, and haven’t had a flow for years.
American has had flow for YEARS, and they are solidly in third place. That’s for profitability AND most people’s desire to work there.
Really? Where are all these pilots coming from? You do realize there are MANY airlines competing for pilots in a market that will soon have more jobs than pilots right??? Delta is Delta and will always get to cherry pick who they want. American has their flow with their wholly owned companies so that leaves United, Southwest, JetBlue, Spirit, Frontier, Allegiant and now Breeze fighting for the rest. That pool of regional pilots will dry up very quickly over the next 3-5 years. United is not Delta and they have done nothing to secure their pipeline other than buy a flight school. When a 10 year CA at Delta gets a $70,000 profit sharing check every year compared to the same United guys $20,000 profit sharing check, I'd say thats a pretty distant "2nd place ranking."
