If you want to guarantee you’ll never have your foot in the door on a flow, go fly for Republic or SkyWest. Both are great places to work, but they are too big and will never be wholly owned nor have a flow agreement. You’ve got to go fly somewhere with a little less QOL to reap the benefits of a flow.

Piedmont and PSA are currently flowing pilots who have been on property about 5.5 years. Hardly a mirage for them. No that is not indicative of what a new hire now can expect, but flow is certainly not a mirage.

the question really needs to be asked "why" is their no flow at republic?

That's great, but you can literally get anywhere you want to be in under that time right now if you put the work in. However, QOL at the AA WO's is laughably horrible. Once you get to AA, things aren't much better right now either. It's great to have a guarantee, but getting your time somewhere you don't go to work hating your company to eventually land at another airline that actually has their stuff together is even better IMO. Plenty of guys around here that are out in 3 years to their final destination, and it's already picked up significantly this year.


There's no flow at Republic because we aren't a wholly owned subsidiary of American. AA WO's are the only ones with a true flow where once you're in, it's pretty much a guaranteed job....if you don't screw up along the way. If you want that, go to those airlines. With hiring the way it is and will continue to be, flow is just delayed gratification.
