Good Luck.
Why would a pilot wish to slow their career down waiting for a flow? Flow is a management tool, not a pilot benefit in any way. If this was 10 years ago I could see it, those people would be flowing now.

Ask eny pilots. 200+ flows already. Every month 20 captains are flowing. What other regional can provide that?


Good Luck.

Good Luck.

And how long did those 200+ pilots wait for that flow to get them to the majors?

Well, considering the 9/11 attacks, recession and the fact that AA didn't hire in yrs.....What was your question again?

Good Luck.

I know since you are flying the G1 this probably all seems a little foreign to you. On the surface, flow through seems like a great thing but in reality its just a tool that management uses to obtain your obedience for 10 years, kind of like a carrot. The truth is you are better off going to a regional that is growing. Upgrade time should be the only thing on your mind, not 10 year flow throughs. You upgrade, then you are out of there in a year or two.

Maybe one day you will want to work for the airlines, this is a good place to learn some of the ropes. Good luck!

You're implying that 1-2k hours of 121 PIC is the golden ticket to get hired at a major. That is far from accurate. Ask all the guys who have been captains for a few years who still can't get out of their current regional.

Friends and Family, Interns, Military are the only ones getting hired without that golden PIC.


Good Luck.

He just want more people below him at PSA, that's why he's telling All about quick upgrade and that the Flow IS not good. They are also anxious about PSA getting more "flow".

Two face PSA people ... so sad that all the upgrades there have been hired.

Why, I won't be at Eagle, I'm in the flow. I'll be sure to watch a 300 pilot group help out the 2K pilot group over at AA though. Enjoy your staple.
