If AA were to start massive culling of 50 seaters with the addition of 175's couldn't they potentially eliminate much of envoy fairly quickly? What happens to the flow if envoy were to be shut down from the flying standpoint? What would happen to those that don't make the leap beforehand? Do the envoy pilots all have AA seniority numbers now?
I don't know the answers, just asking the questions.
I don't think many of us with the exception of the most senior CAs are counting on that flow. Most FOs I know, myself included are a applying to any major airline accepting applications. The AA flow is a nice card to play if all else fails but it's certainly not my career plan. I think I'll be able to get hired somewhere before Eagle shuts the doors, assuming they do.
