Envoy and PSA are hiring like crazy right now. PSA has a hard cap on classes at 35 per class, and has been filling them for months. Envoy has had classes of well more than 50 per class for months now, with some over 70. PDT...well...PDT is struggling with growth right now and I am pretty sure that they are shrinking even though they could hire hundreds if they were able to get everything in order.
The AA WO are filling classes because they are stable and predictable. Endeavor raised pay, and the AA WO will follow suit and exceed that pay. Someone else will jump up with a big benefit, and the AA WO will again do the same.
The flow helps, but the AA WO also get most of the same benefits as the mainline AA. AA is starting to create a culture of "one" family between regionals and mainline. They have been talking about this for several years, and it is starting to show. Examples:
- Every mainline AA employee gets 2 free positive space tickets anywhere in the world...all WO regional employees are included.
- Every mainline AA employee gets profit sharing...all WO regional employees are included.
- Every mainline AA employee gets $1000 tax check...all WO regional employees are included.
- All AA WO regional employees get the exact same travel benefits as mainline AA employees.
I am very happy that Endeavor raised the bar, and Republic may be following suit. It just means even higher pay at the AA WO in a few months.

Funny. Thought there was a pilot shortage. Especially at the regionals. Pay them accordingly and treat them without despair and suddenly they have to "cap" classes. Interesting concept.

Doesn’t matter if it’s an L-CAL or L-UAL or the UALALPA higher ups, they’re all surprised at what a cluster the CPP is and how poorly executed it’s been.

If we actually get this RFP then something is afoot because St. George would never allow us to retain flying or airplanes. If the 22 700s go to skywest, then we're done

No reason to think the rumor ever had merit, but there’s also no reason to think anything changed. Everybody decided that if it didn’t happen by January 1st that it wasn’t true......which makes no real sense. The rumor of the 5-year extension was the same way......it was talked about, and then fizzled out....and then a few weeks later it was announced. I think we will all be surprised how long XJT will last despite the issues it faces.
