Supposedly Sun Country and Frontier are interviewing RTP directly without going to a regional first.

Know of one who got 800+ in the Navy and as soon as SHE got 1500TT at the regional, got the notification from Delta.

RTAG. Can anyone who attended educate me on what they discuss in regards to mínimums when it comes to military, civilians and a combination of reservist/civilians times.

I can also say at PSA there are more than a few who'd like to be at AA, but are choosing other airlines because the increased hiring is seriously devaluing the flow for them. When we only flow 10 / month regardless of how many AA hires, and AA more than doubles how many they're hiring every month, that's a lot of seniority to give up.

So yeah, I think the only thing that would cut it is Seniority, and I think APA would be very reticent to allow that, or at the very least needs to leverage that for all it's worth. That said, that also requires the brain trust in DFW to see it as a problem in the first place. Given that they got rid of all the Group 1 aircraft while other airlines have added some, who knows.....
