Don’t expect that you will get to American via the flow. The numbers are pretty much impossible for a new hire.

I think that’s probably enough.

Read through the history of this forum. Nothing has changed except the $150K retention bonus that is designed to keep captains at the company until they make it to American, but that is a very small window of people and if you’re not already on property and a captain or close to upgrading, it won’t help you.
