ENY management is only a small part of the problem. AAG could fix this if they wanted to.
The reality is the AAG WOs have become a dead end. AAG has switched its game plan and they aren’t willing to PURCHASE the new planes that the WOs need to compete. RPA and SKW have the money to buy the planes so AAG will continue to give them the flights.

AAG will fix it. Delta and AA are in contract negotiations I think both contracts will address seniority to mainline from respective regional feed. To big of a problem to ignore. Some pilots may balk at a staple or longevity credit, but they want a contract in the middle of Covid, and it’s a freebie for them to give. If there is one list, there are 0 threats to adding 4 seats to large RJs, and 5 to 65 seaters, keep block ratio same or improve it, and only on planes they have direct seniority too. The fleet generates more revenue.
Kirby is setting United up to upgrade RJs swapping a 70 seat 170 for a 70 seat 175, makes no sense unless you plan to go to the mattresses over adding 6-10 seats at a later date.

Over at psa we talk about getting a seniority # at AA instead of bonuses. But then we generally laugh at it cause we know AA will never actually need to do it. If it happens then great but bailing early for even a ULCC might be worth as much. Not to mention the resistance it will probably get from AA pilots will hold it off for years.
