Are you saying that you wouldn't bother interviewing elsewhere?

Just because you don't have to interview elsewhere doesn't mean that you can't. If it gets you to a legacy carrier a few years faster, wouldn't you go to an interview?
I think he was cracking a joke...

Is that all you have to say in reply? Accuse him of "smoke and mirrors"?

If you have spent any time in Dayton, that question should answer itself.

It's like a teenage slumber party in here.

If you're considering a AA WO'd carrier, here's all you need to know regarding flows.

- If you live in, or have a very easy commute to a ENY base, go there.
- If you live in, or have a very easy commute to a PDT base, go there.
- If you live in, or have a very easy commute to a PSA base, go there.

Trying to figure out, using current data, what's going to happen to flow time 5-8 years from now is a fool's errand.

Anything other than the above is just guys trying to wave their wiener around.

And if you want a referral at PSA, let me know.

This ^^^ x 1,000

It's all going to be a wash in about 5 years anyway. Go where you have the best QOL.

Nothing in particular. It just isn't for everyone, including me. January-February are brutal. Really cold and no sun for weeks at a time. But then again, I think anything below 60* is basically cold so take my opinion for what it's worth. I came to PSA primarily for the CLT base and it's still the only base I have any interest in being at. TYS is okay too if mountains and a small town are your thing.

I don't have to accuse him of anything. If someone chooses to put in the time to educate themselves by reading for a few days they'll get the info they want.

Unfortunately for the PSA recruiters that info doesn't alway jive with what they're saying. I'm not going to waste my time rehashing all of it. It's been done before.

It's an acronym for "wholly owned" and refers to regional airlines that are 100 percent owned by a legacy carrier. So in essence the WO airlines are a subsidiary of the major airline parent.
