I don't know how many people are sticking around OO just for mainline. Sure, mainline is all the new hires talk about. But it seems like those with a little more experience under their belt understand the hiring music will stop at some point and LCC's offer significantly more earning potential than OO. OO is still losing a lot of pilots to the LCC's. IMO, not having a flow is hurting more than it's helping.

There has been talk about flows to mainline "in the works" at OO, but the consensus seems to be that it's all talk and just a tactic to get people to stay until mainline/LCC hiring stops. Time will tell.
