Odds are, though, you won't get close to that. I know where I'm at, getting about 95 hours block is a real task because of look-back and forward for FDP and block.

So PSA doesn't have a real flow to American, right? It's 4 people interviewing per month? How come Piedmont and Envoy has that but PSA doesn't? Do you guys know if PSA's numbers are going to increase? My main goal is to end up at American but it seems like with PSA it'll take forever since we wouldn't be able to apply outside of it. Am I correct?

It is a flow for the company just not the individual. Its actually better than a flow because if they have to burn through 50 people to find 4 then they move closer to your name faster than a "flow". It was 10% of the seniorty list per year when it was offered. They will revisit it when US and AA get a single operating certificate.

Even if we do get the numbers to increase, I doubt it would be more than 8-10 a month. Meaning if you're hired sometime soon you'd be around #1200 meaning 10 years to "flow."

It seems like many airlines business plan is "copy Delta".

You can still apply at AA working for PSA.
