Envoy to get 100% flow to AA.

I think not.
Furthermore, after the PP group has flowed Envoy should stabilize around 1500 pilots more or less. Flowing 25% per class of a 1500 pilot group means it will still take the same amount of time as 50% of a 3,000 pilot group. In any case, once the pilot group is around 1500 AA can't afford to flow at the 50% rate because they would never be able to hire enough pilots to cover that flying. They would need to hire 80 a month just to cover those pilots. A person at the bottom of a 1500 pilot seniority list will still flow in the same time frame-if not sooner-than someone at the bottom of a 3,000 pilot seniority list with 50% flow.
It's shocking how some of you are unable to put 2 and 2 together and need information spoon fed to you.

But, what a parade (or is it charade ?) you promote...........it's quite spectacular.

But first, AAG has to limp there and there's been some bumps and they have to shuffle things around for a year or so until Envoy's 824 arbitration is exhausted and the three WO's are right-sized.

Yes. Once that metric occurs, it will be easier to whipsaw the separate groups and that includes flow-thru provisions, especially in the case of consolidation.

I don't post often but I thought I pass along this tidbit from the September 5 Ft. Worth Star-Telegram Article "Hiring spree brings new blood to American Airlines"
Fort Worth resident Nathan Sidwell, 33, walked into American’s training center on his first day not knowing what kind of plane he was going to fly or what city he would be based in.
Sidwell, who flew C-130s for the Marine Corps at Naval Air Station Fort Worth, met an American Airlines pilot at a kid’s birthday party a few years ago who suggested he think about flying for the airline.
“He said, ‘We’re going through bankruptcy right now, but in a couple of years when you get out, give us a call,’” Sidwell said.
When his time in the Marines was up, he started the application process with American.
Within a few minutes of the start of class for pilot hires, Sidwell and about a dozen other pilots learned that they would be based at either New York LaGuardia or Miami and would fly Boeing 737s or Airbus narrow-body aircraft.
Sidwell was one of two “off-the-street” hires to start at American this month. The others in the class were pilots who had flown for American’s regional subsidiaries Envoy Air and Piedmont Airlines.
“Half of a new-hire class on average is going to be comprised of the flow-through pilots, and those guys and girls have been flying for the regional carriers for anywhere from 15 to 25 years,” said Jim Thomas, managing director of flight training and standards. “They have an enormous amount of experience.”

Sat in the jumpseat about a month ago from MIA-LGA and the FO was a new hire Airbus guy. Great guy, former Marine TP f-18 pilot. I am glad some of those guys are making it over, because they deserve it. It's a great job with a lot of $$$ potential.
