AE to AA flow is no interview, no medical exams, nothing, just pick your bags and go to training. Quality? Envoy have one of the hardes training and interviews out there.
So all those jets weren't guaranteed to come to Envoy in the first two TAs? Just trying to keep my facts straight.
OK, so that's good flow from an Envoy pilot's perspective.
Didn't mean to imply that Envoy pilots weren't quality pilots. It's just that if I were running an airline, I'd want to interview my own guys/gals and not be dependent upon some other entity's judgement. For example, if a pilot shortage really does materialize someday, maybe Envoy (or any regional with flow for that matter) starts digging deep into the gene pool just to fill seats. One would think American (or United, Delta, whoever) would want to screen their own guys/gals to protect against a scenario like that for example.
