But what happens if I get a type rating for a 320 and they no longer need pilots for that type rating?

Obviously, there is no way to know how long you’ll be anywhere or which will work out best until you can look at it in hindsight. With bonus and CA pay, a calculator shows that it takes a few years before reaching a break even point for me to go to Spirit vs some of the regionals. Clearly, there is a decent reason for some people to consider it.

AA’s entire goal is to keep you at their partner regional as long as possible. As stated multiple times, if you want to get to AA years and years before your “flow”, go to a Delta or United regional carrier.
