I agree the pay rates will most likely be extended but PSA can technically roll back end of 2026...

Also starting to question the viability of this "flow"...
Flow is only viable as long as AA keeps running classes. There have been several instances where AA shuts off classes to maintain staffing on the lines (Mainline and WO) in addition to the COVID and most recent shut down.

Regional pilot enhanced pay rates are a large drain on AA financially. Unless the hiring environment returns to what it was when the pay rates were implemented I would plan on them being rolled back in 2026. I would also encourage you to gtfo to Delta or United or UPS asap since those three seem to be the most stable financially at the moment. Flow is a nice backup but shouldn't be your primary hope for getting hired at a mainline.
