I mean I know captain upgrades might no longer be 2 years like In the past, but a 5th year captain makes more than what I make at my current job and I’d rather be getting paid to fly than paid to work on airplanes myself.
I like to explain the flow as smoke and mirrors.
Keep in mind also the flow is not guaranteed. The only pilots who had a guarantee flow were the protected pilots. (This is true at envoy, I can’t attest to PSA or Piedmont)
Choose the regional that is the easiest commute and or drive to where you live.
Reserve at a regional is not fun, so keep that In mind when selecting an employer. We are getting to a point again where qualified candidates will be able to choose what regional they want to go to.
