Again, more crafty playing with words. To be clear, Envoy new-hires DO NOT "secure" a seniority number at AA until they are in an AA new-hire indoc class and that will be many, many years from now. They also are unlikely to see a "brand new" E-175 for years as virtually all of those slots will go senior. The 200 captains seats by lifers who won't leave for many years and 200 F/O's more senior here for years before they too leave.
For the record, should our TA pass there are 1000 AA furloughees waiting to return at minimum 3rd year pay. Many are waiting until the very last minute and if even half come back (a reasonable estimate), it will take a year to run them all through and that means no flowing. Expect to see that wave begin this Spring.
Clearly, this person is here to pitch coming to Envoy and is using unscrupulous methods to do that. One would be wise to assume that this person is stumping for Envoy management and from an honesty standpoint, they are acting in their best interests and not prospective pilots. I would be VERY leery of this persons claims.
