If the original growth plan to become a 150 airplane airline is still in place I doubt we will see any increase to PSA's flow/year. However, management has said that when the growth was over the flow would be increased to continue attracting newhires.

AAG is disappointed with Q1 PRASM and will cut capacity. So if the new 900s and 700 transfers start replacing 200s instead of adding to the fleet I would expect the flows/year to increase.

The slow down for the next few months is due to increased summer flying and can be expected to happen every year. What matters is how many flow per year.

Literally the only carrier with a tv and a cool little video about PSA. Flashy and fun. Out of all the airlines there, they LITERALLY had the best booth. Someone planned that well!

I had some questions...
What is the difference in flow between PSA, Piedmont, and Envoy.
Piedmont says they have the quickest flow and Envoy says they have the most people flowing. Piedmont breaks out a calculator and math's it out for you. PSA assured it wouldnt take that long to get to American.

How likely is it for someone to get based in CLT?

What does health insurance cost... like yearly premium?

Thanks for they help! I should have asked while I was at OBAP but had to leave too early.
The answers are.
Come to endeavor.
Less than 2 year upgrade.
Make 60k your first year.
Delta interview
Enough said

Delta interview doesnt mean Delta job, sadly...

3 part test and an HR portion. I know many people that have gone to these interviews and Delta and United and failed the tests. Great pilots, great people... sadly I feel a place with no interview flow like Piedmont, PSA, Envoy would be better. It's quite the back up plan if you happen to have an off day and fail the interview.

Some of us don't want to work for Delta. I like AA/US culture and bases. United would be cool too. Delta is bottom of my list. Not to mention, Delta seems to be steering more towards being a domestic carrier with less diversification in their fleet and flying looking forward compared to AA and especially United.

Parker has already said that there would be no increase in flow.

You may not like what Parker says, but when Parker says it,.......... Parker means it.

Yeah! Five percent of pre-tax profit to be split among all AAG employees, (excluding bonus-level employees).

Has there been a change in that?

I think his point was in reference to what DP says is final. DP stated in the past he'd never profit share but is now. Well if the checks actually get cut.

Delta is the way AA and United should be.

Also united is buying a lot of 737-700 for domestic flying (don't remember the amount, but it is in the 70-100 planes ballpark).

AA is behind about 10yrs of Delta and United. Delta is ahead of the game right now and AA is trying to play catch.
