One captain ran the numbers and he would make over $300K more by staying for 12-18 months and flowing to AA than going to UA. He didn’t even bother going to interview after he ran the numbers.
That’s not the 10 LCAs at PSA that you were talking about before, but even with the numbers above it doesn’t put a dent in the applicant pool at the legacies. This is only an issue until it’s an issue. United has no shortage of minimally qualified applicants. Until that changes, the bargaining chip of the regional pay rates and people’s decision to stay put at the moment doesn’t really help us.
