I agree about the 5 year timeline. I honestly don't care about figuring out how to make PSA or any regional be successful. I want them all to become so expensive the flying is brought back in house. Their baby stepping is an attempt to get us on the cheap until the music stops and the 900s/175s are pulled to mainline. Screw that. Pay all of us now cause nothing is guaranteed in 6 months, let alone 5 years.

Starting in April, classes need to be full or major staffing shortage issues will probably impact the completion factor and reliability this summer. A bunch of canceled flights probably hurts AA more than spending an extra $10-20 Million on labor costs.

CAs - Increased Flow
FOs - More Money

You're probably right except you forgot to mention 20K for everyone, not just FOs. Captains are grossly under paid too. Currently, a three-year 76-seat captain makes half of what a three-year 99-seat captains makes. American E190 vs. PSA CRJ-900

We can only hope they see the light. I figure AA is so wrapped up in the merger integration stuff the WOs have been able to sell them some golden BS this whole time. They won't be able to lie when the numbers start sucking.

What I am saying is that I'd rather see an increased flow to mainline be the carrot for CAs, for two reasons:
- No amount of money is going to retain a CA if another Legacy offer comes along.
- Getting a mainline paycheck a year or two sooner has a hell of a lot more monetary value than a retention bonus at a regional.

You really think manipulating the reserve grid to deny CCP is anything like violating a pay rate chart? Did you seriously go there? Where's the gray area in a pay chart?

Look, my main point is that the best solution to this problem is getting guys on and off property as quickly as possible.
It always amazes me how quickly regional pilots will try and protect their very small sandbox as much as possible. I'd rather make it easier to get to the bigger sandbox.
