I was talking from my experience I was pushing for the big 3 but put time frames on when I would go to each depending on my time to flow. For example if I was within 6 months of flowing I wouldn’t keep applying except to AA. Bumping up the flow would’ve have helped me stay for the flow. If it was 5 to 3 years I’d still try to go anywhere but 18 months to 10 I probably stick it out. Just saying in my case a flow increase would’ve helped more than money.

Confucius says that Flow Agreements rarely last long enough for the majority of said pilot group to actually flow. It is no different here, we are seeing the beginning of the end.

I'd much rather sit and apply to my #1 major while in a seat at my #2 major, if bases are that important. Besides, most majors' contacts will allow you to have more days off commuting than sitting in base at a regional.

I'm near atp mins and I 100% want to go to an AA WO.

Having a hard time choosing between the three.

Can someone give me the pros and cons of each? And which one has the slowest flow, and fastest flow?

Where do you live? There really is almost no reason to go to PDT right now.

I have homes near all the bases, so relocating or living where the base is near is not a problem. I live in both Philly and Miami. Originally from Philly... Building flight time in Miami.

Agreed. But depending how long you're at major #2 leaving for major #1 might not even be worth it..

Imo commuting isn't bad but I also know where I commute it's not hard and there are tough ones out there. Plus having positive space commute makes it seamless. And I'm commuting to a regional.

Maybe on the AA WO side. Just saying that's what I heard. But on the DAL WO...I wouldn't be surprised especially since it's been brought up for retention reasons.

They will intentionally cancel flights to make a spectacle out of it. Congress will fold.
This is the most likely scenario of all the hypotheticals that I’ve read
