AA non-rev priority is based solely upon your check-in time. Seniority has zero to do with it.

it’s just an example of how 2 ALPA carriers handle integration, and everything starts over when you flow or if there is a staple. There’s 0% chance any seniority from a regional would skip mainline seniority at AA, or any major for any reason.

7 years to flow to a major may seem like a long time, but compared to 15 years ago when it took that long or longer just to be qualified to interview for a major might help folks realize they're in a golden age of opportunity.

Not to mention back then regional pilots were paid peanuts. Nowadays we're making mainline wages while waiting to flow. SAP'ing to 18 days off a month and still making six figures easy while flying a fun jet. Amazing travel privileges all over the world. And all this is available to anyone with 1500 hours in a Skyhawk. Anyone complaining about PSA will probably complain about their time at AA, or anywhere else for that matter. My advice...don't overthink it. Relax. All of us have hit the lottery. Enjoy the ride, however long it takes.

SAP is the schedule adjustment program. All airlines allow some degree of voluntary schedule changes after the schedule is published, but PSA historically had a particularly robust version. It may have changed in the last few years, but regardless SAP is particular to PSA and not a general feature of airline schedules.

Right now pilots with 7 years since date of hire are flowing. Obviously all of those were hired pre-covid. The interesting thing is that COVID created a 1 year 3 month gap on the senority list when there was no hiring. So in theory, for those who were hired after COVID, that may shave off 1.3 from their time to flow, putting them around 5.8 years. In theory.

This. Flow is only good for those about to flow.
