It's too late. We already aren't attracting new hires. The stuff has only begun to hit the fan. Even if we get a flood of new hires, they are months away from the line barring no delays. We have been shrinking while taking on more aircraft. According to all the surveys everyone came here for the fast upgrade. No one came for the bases, flow or FO pay. At 4 a month, the upgrade flood is over. Righting the ship today will still mean no noticeable results for months. PSA was gambling on buying someone or someone going bankrupt. They gambled and lost. Time to pay.

I disagree. If they change it in the next few months there will be no problem. Reason for saying this is because just look at the march lines. We are still slightly overstaffed, and they could easily build much more efficient lines. If they do this they will have no issue going another few months on the pilots currently on property. I do agree, however, that if they don't do anything soon, then there will be a big issue. PSA, Envoy, and PDT management are puppets though. AAG sees the numbers concerning everything. They know the issues. They came down on payroll and scheduling back when delays from crew swaps and pay discrepancies were incredibly high. They know the hiring issues happening at the WOs. Ultimately it's up to them to pony up and fix the issue.
My crystal ball assumptions are based off the claim of 10.5 pilots per aircraft. That gives us 15% buffer. I gladly welcome more efficient schedules and it seems like March is a hint. TYS actually had decent time lines with more than 11 days off. I'm certainly no expert. The bandaid of efficient schedules might be enough only if it occurs with something to actually attract pilots.

If only PSA would listed up when everybody told them to hold the line. Oh well...
Pay raises? You think that Parker will give PSA pay raises after accepting that crap at the first time? We are all in the same boat (PSA/PDT/ENY) and is not because of PDT or ENY.

Meanwhile Mesa and RAH are getting 20+ a Class.

It has to be bases. The people wanting to go to regionals right now must be living in Mesa bases. I as well could see no other reason to go there. They are by far the lowest paid large rj operator in the system.

Thats why this is the time we need to start putting the pressure on them
SAP 75, no open time, no junior man.
AAG may be aware of the issues, but they won't do a thing until it starts affecting their operation.

The fast upgrade doesn't really apply unless you have previous 121 time. It doesn't matter if the airline is upgrading in 6 months or 2 years unless you have your 1000hrs. Also I think we all know that, baring a big slow down, all the regionals will have less than a 2 year upgrade in the next 2 years.
And after upgrade you're right back to a 2 leg commute and a crash pad in DAY.
