[QUOTE=Virga show;3324447]Buddy I’m not the one trying to figure out how to come to AA. Street hire (LAA), under 10,000 seniority, 37 years old.. Yes, let me take a “breath”. You shouldn't worry about the WO, AA will staff them. Thanks for the breathing suggestion..

 

You’re right on the $180K part. Debt not so much..

AA - $40B ($3B short and $37B long term)
DA - $36B ($10B short and $26B long term)
UA - $36B ($2B short and $34 long term)

 

I think the reality is what it always was - those people who hustle, get the hours, get the four year degree, get the early upgrades and LCA positions and the like while avoiding DUIs, training busts, etc., AND THEN ACTIVELY APPLY TO MAJORS, are always going to be chosen first.

Those who wait for the flow are going to be last to get hired and will get the seniority that goes with that hire date.

Flow is a BACKUP, that’s all it has ever been, and perhaps an opportunity for those who would otherwise never have been competitive to get to a major. If the loss of senior regional pilots at AA regionals becomes significant enough to threaten the AA regional feed model, then AA will either increase pay at the regional sufficient to offset that or simply bring the regional flying back to mainline.

I doubt seriously they will pi$$ off competitive people from the 135 world, from other regionals, or from the military, by awarding seniority to people at the regionals, nor do I think APA would even allow them to do that if they wanted to.

 

[QUOTE=NotPhlying;[url=tel:3324485]3324485[/url]]Congratulations your better than me. I'm not sure why you care so much about all the regionals then. It seemed like you actually had skin in the game with your previous post. just worry about yourself and let us not so “lucky” covid held back regional pilots worry about about the regionals and flow.

 

[QUOTE=Virga show;3324514]every generation of pilots for the most part have had their "luck" put on hold in one way or another, 9/11, for me it was age 60 to 65 and the Great Recession 2008-2010, and now Covid(which has pushed back upgrade for me too)...I learned real quick that the who's had it worse argument is always a losing one and not worth starting. Oh and if you don't want "major" airline pilots talking about regionals then maybe not post on the AA page?? 🤷‍♂️

 

Can you post where you got those numbers?The Debt-To-Equity Ratio of Major U.S. AirlinesAirlineDebt-To-Equity RatioUnited Airlines1.7735Allegiant Airlines1.6648Spirit Airlines1.5734Hawaiian Airlines1.2592Delta Airlines1.1717Alaska Airlines0.7428JetBlue0.6568Southwest Airlines0.4070American Airlines (AAL) is not included as it is currently running a negative debt-to-equity ratio.

 

I have always heard debt to asset was the more useful ratio. Equity can be all over the map. What is debt to asset?

 

lol I got hired off the street from a WO, I know the deal it was just a suggestion to stop the bleeding

 

Which ACMI is paying 180k to year two FOs? That’s great, happy for whomever it is but I missed that update.

 

what do you mean how soon? We already announced chapter 7 after the New Years. If you can get me a letter of rec I’d really appreciate it.
