I’ve met quite a few, especially recently. I know the numbers are low, but the hiring is about to explode. RAH is in for a really tough summer. Thank you.

Didn't know that. I learn something new every day!

Not a knock at rpa this is just from my personal perspective..no regrets though.

Last captain I flew with had no military. Four year degree. Not sure his TPIC. He’s going to Delta next month.

He clearly said HE hasn’t met anyone. So just because YOU have, doesn’t mean HE has. Like I’ve said in previous posts, those leaving that are pure civilian are still in the minority.

Fair enough I stand corrected.

No there isn't. There was language to increase flow above the monthly minimum, but nothing to decrease it.

aren’t there 3 groups of flows? As each group finishes don’t they flow less and less pilots to aa ending in the lesser of 25% of yearly aa hires or some formula? Which group is currently flowing?

Each of the WOs are different. I can speak most clearly to PDT and that is a simple ratio of pilots on the seniority list to pilots flowing per month. It's currently at 6 and there's no chance it goes to 7 because the company isn't growing. The only catch and the only way it can be slowed down at Piedmont is if AA stops having classes.

I've always been under the impression that PDT had the best flow language and that is was different than the other WO's. That not the case?
