There were certainly more than 100 qualified candidates ready to transition within the next year at the event.

I'll be curious to see the percentage that stay long enough to upgrade.

There’s some Envoy RTP’s that got offered JetBlue positions last year.
All of them were awarded upgrade, in upgrade training or recently finished upgrade.
So it looks like 1000 121 time for an RTP will get them a slot at JetBlue at least.

Not a bad place to hang your hat. If that becomes a common occurrence, hopefully we see some changes at all 3 carriers to stop the hemorrhaging of pilots to anything remotely better.
We need more carrot, less stick.

PS: Now give me an AA seniority number already.

I'm thinking no, from a risk management perspective.

Infrastructure wise, I think it needs to happen.

You'll think that is the case, but IT wise, building and property wise, management wise, personnel wise, tell me otherwise. There's costs savings and synergy that can be had. It's not secret this is where AAG is fat and needs to be trimmed.
I think it will happen but not next year.
