Probably the ever-reputable rumor mill, where most people seem to get their news.

making the model work without regional feed is an enormous problem… i agree. That does not make LCA’s and Captains grow on trees.

the fundamental issue here is whether a FFD model is cheaper than all-mainline. (Short-term or long-term may be different answers). Mainline will use regionals until they stop saving money.

IIRC the current APA contract has crj900 rates. Maybe they bring it in house.

A WO merger might have worked 5 years ago. They don’t have time to pull it off now. Three unions, three types, a half dozen bases … that will take a couple years to integrate and it doesn’t change the three-week half-life of an LCA

Edit: regarding pay and attrition. There’s some pilot-pay tipping point where mainline makes more sense. Idk where that is but probably much higher than what you need to keep people from leaving for mainline


PSA is gonna have an LCA mutiny. Critical Coverage pays more and they can never trade into it because they all have locked schedules.

No LCA wants to make less to instruct.

They’ll pay you 125% as long as you commit to forfeit all opportunities for 150% which will be regular in the middle of a national RJ pilot shortage.

Eh, in our current environment it seems like adding LCA creds to one's app gets one noticed pretty quick. I think there's a lot of guys doing to calculus on that.

That said, the LCA situation at AA is very different.

Not to mention, becoming an LCA isn’t even required to get your app pulled anymore. So unless someone just loves teaching I wonder how many people will apply to be one. I applied back in Aug,,got the thumbs down. Wasn’t necessary lol

Critical is now based on original award, so there’s plenty of opportunity to make critical pay just by SAPing around their schedules. No trades afterwards necessary.

Do you guys recommend I drive from the west coast all the way to Dayton to keep my car during training? Or should I rely on hotel shuttle service.
