To the person asking about Wheels Up, count me among the "go to a ULCC" crowd, and quite honestly that's what most of the FOs I've been flying with have been doing.

BUT

I do think there's an outside chance that AA might soon see a longer term value in the pilots that it current has warehoused at its WO'd carriers. What that looks like I have no idea, but the simple fact is that pilots aren't leaving regionals based on strictly financial motivations; they're leaving to go start accruing seniority on a list that will eventually meet those financial motivations. First Legacy management team to have that lightbulb moment and figure out the implications of it wins a prize.
