PDT won’t see flow increase from growth of the pilot group for a long time if ever.
Might not be too long before upgrades stop because they can’t afford release FOs from the line for 6 months to replace a departed captain while they wait 11 months for NHs to complete training to replace the upgraded FO.

Interesting update to the pilot list. Total count fell by 13 pilots even after adding 6 new pilots. I'm in the upper third of seniority and I still moved up 12 numbers. People are rightfully getting fed up and leaving.
I wonder how long the company can tolerate this before having to pony up some improvements, as they seem to be struggling now to even hire to cover attrition.

Union leadership has been working on DOH SLI language with flow protections for PDT Pilots recently. Wouldn’t be surprising if that came with fences for aircraft/bases.

Add the CPZ planes in LAX and we should pretty much be there.
