I think 2024 is too early for the demise of the 145, although not many would be disappointed to see it gone much sooner. I think still five years. AAG has about 120 between PDT and ENY. That’s a lot of lift to replace at great expense, and one entire company. That certainly would be a good time to absorb the pilots of PDT into PSA, but all thee WOs are much bigger on the ground services side, so more involved with that.
That being said, SKW is trying to expand to 7000 pilots by next year and they probably have the resources to buy the planes to put those pilots to work if AAG expands/extends their contract.
