Yea the opposite is true. If you didn’t consider the fact that the majority of WO Captains are leaving to AA due to the flow, the WOs still send the most pilots to the legacies every month of any other airlines.
Basically if you’re flowing 20 /month and another 2-3 leave for another legacy besides AA, you’re still losing 23 pilots that month. What other regional out there is sending 23 pilots /month to a legacy airline?

That obviously did not happen. I’ll bet one years worth of per diem on this.

If all the other regionals aren’t losing pilots off the top, why are they still hiring so many pilots? Has any regional grown significantly? I ran into the captain that interviewed me at another regional a year later and he said they had zero net gain of pilots. Just like Envoy, I’m sure there is some attrition the first year, but that can’t be all of it.
The majors and LCCs are hiring smaller percentage of exclusively military fixed wing pilots every year. Where do you think those pilots come from? Thin air? I’m not saying it is easy, far from it. But the entire time I flew as an FO there wasn’t more than a few captains that had updated an application anywhere in the last year.
The flow invites laziness, which is exactly what AAG wants and they are paying us less because of it.

However I think this will change as guys hired late 2017 and later get competitive experience. Except a small portion, most wont want to wait another 5+ years for flow when they meet mins at other quality airlines.
Time will tell.
