The AA wholly owned flow is going to be an unknown timetable going forward. The quesion is will they be able to keep up with replacements at the regional. I think it's guaranteed they will never flow them out of of existance. Yes south florida is very expensive.

Although with the looming retirements they might get to the point where they'll take solid candidates with only prop time. That used to be the normal career progression for civilians, before RJ's. But they'd also hired 13 to get 10 online...

People definitely get hired with prop time only (121 is way better in that regard), but statistically you're at a disadvantage. Something to consider, but I wouldn't necessarily rule it out completely.

if you want to live in south FL i would say American, Jetblue, and Spirit would be my top choices in that order. if AA is your end goal and you are not a military fixed wing pilot, go to Envoy. Jetblue seems to like Republic pilots if that is your goal, but ive also seen alot of Skywest guys go there recently as well.
