From what I hear from mainline usairways pilots, things are really senior and stagnate. I've heard the opposite at at United, but again that's all hearsay.
Delta and United are further into their merger than AA, it took some time for them to get through a bunch of recalls and then start to transfer flying back to mainline. The same will happen at AA over time due to market forces, in the mean time keep updating your airlineapps.

At this point the flow is realistically closer to 10 years or more than it is 5. I'd assume that flow number will increase at some point in the next year or two, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Sure it's somewhat of a gamble not knowing what you'll be doing in 5 to 10 years but good luck getting that anywhere else either.

Let's stop with the talks because it's all rumor and not truth. Nobody knows what's happening tomorrow.

You are asking questions that are unpredictable.

I'm hoping for a Havannah satellite base or maybe SJU.

PSA and all other contract airlines won't exist in 10 years, hopefully everyone can see that math? Nobody seems to be able to comprehend this.

If nothing changes with the retirements and hiring requirements at the legacies, not a single regional pilot currently flying will be left at the regionals. I do believe that the flow will end up being around 6-8 years for a new hire. We have only just started seeing the very beginning of this pilot shortage. It will worsen and the problems will become more complex in the next couple years.

Next up for regionals is shrinkage and consolidation.

I reckon it's the other way round: there won't be a 'Legacy' carrier in 10 years in it's current form. The Regionals will keep getting bigger aircraft and taking over routes and will continue to pay less in salaries... Why would American buy an airline like PSA? So they can 'grow' it and shrink the mainline. We call it "white anting" (destruction from within) in Australia. Just my opinion.
