American is signing up flight instructors currently, then regional flow. C152-777. They will gradually tweak this program until All attrition is eliminated within the pipeline to American. The other legacies will follow suit.

JB will evemtually need this program to survive.

Quote from senior South West manager

“That is one of the things in my job I get to worry about every day and when I go to bed at night,” said Greg Muccio, a senior manager at Southwest Airlines Co. “The biggest problem is a general lack of interest in folks pursuing this as a career anymore. That’s what puts us in the most jeopardy.”
If the contract, pay, and work rules are crap, then yes they will have a hard time getting pilots. This is all fixed by the company paying to play. It's that easy. Instead of paying a group, that out performs what is expected of them, top rates and being able to recruit the best talent by giving top rates and benefits, the company would rather settle for sub standard rates and recruitment of sub standard pilots in the future. You said it yourself AA is getting instructors now, that still have to go through a flow through at a regional. Couldn't we do that? What's keeping us from getting those same guys. Can't we have a place where people would desire to come. Can't we be the first choice?
