Fair enough when discussing that AA has a flow. I will wholeheartedly disagree that we are AA pilots day one.
Even still, I think there will need to be changes to the system to make it viable for both current and future candidates. We really need to go back to the offer from 2011 when it was 50% of every AA class, regardless of size.
This would incentivize young pilots to go to a wholly owned, move more flying to mainline and offer a meaningful, realistic path to a mainline career.
