AA effectively does not hire outside the flow at the wholly owneds, and the same is true of Delta with Endeavor. Flow is irrelevant.

5 non-flow PSA folks started class at AA two weeks ago. It’s not as unheard of as you’d think.

How many leveraged offers at other airlines to get the AA interview?

2 of them I know didn’t leverage any offers.

Good on em! Hopefully that trend continues.

I flew with multiple pilots who mentioned going to AA or knowing someone who was, but said that it wasn't by getting the call without... convincing them. Heck, one of them said they basically gave the cold shoulder at WAI the second they found out who they worked for. Took a Delta offer to hear back from them.

I'm in my last 50 hours as a CFI and I have 3 CJO, ENDEAVOR, PSA, and ENVOY, what I really want is to work for a WO carrier, I know flows are not realistic in the current state of the industry? but I was wondering if you were in my shoes, what Regional will you choose and why? I'll be commuting to any of their bases. so base is not a big factor for me yet, I'm planning on commuting for 6 months (end of my current lease) and then I'll be probably moving to base.

my head is divided:
ENDEAVOR: best pay but I hear if you get the CRJ-200 is a death sentence.
ENVOY: nice pay good bonus but I really don't want the ERJ145, bases are the best
PSA: Gets ready of the CRJ-200 or ERJ145 problem, but I hear they are over staff, and bases are not great,

So any objective advice will be help full.
