interesting question. What you’re really asking is “what attrition will PSA see over the next few years”
Ive previously said that’s unknowable but the company has put out some data suggesting what they think
1) the company expects to hire 750 pilots this year
2) the company has a pilot incentive program if there are less than 15 pilots leaving per month for places other than AA. Adding the pilots who leave for AA puts the “best case” scenario from the companies standpoint around 30 per month or 360 per year.
PSA has about 2000 pilots now, you need to be something like #750 to get off reserve as a captain. So 2-4 years to get off reserve.
