You upgrade, then you are out of there in a year or two.
Maybe one day you will want to work for the airlines, this is a good place to learn some of the ropes. Good luck!
His statement of "silliness" is correct in one way and that's your assumption of his false front being real. He's a DFW based EMB captain for Envoy. He's got a lot at stake and with this deal he may decide not to flow to AA. He doesn't know anything about G1's or GV's and spends a lot of time on Envoy issues because he has skin in the game.
