I was just curious as you were asking pilots to contact you via Private Message.

Going forward the Onoy regionals that will survive will be those wh can reshuffle the deck. Right now it's psa and tsa but the second things move backwards that bubble will pop. Further ch11 at other places like rah are very possible as they can't fill contract, offer upgrades, or afford to pay higher.
Unless Envoy can stem their pilot bleeding, I fail to see how it will be a survivor. AA won't have to worry about street hiring or flows for awhile starting this Spring. Actually, what is likely here is that AA furloughees will fill our classes for at least a year starting this Spring and the US Airways side will hire off the street with a few flows there. If 100 824's make it through the gate between now and Spring, how many are left when the flow might restart in say the Summer of 2016 ?
Envoys back could easily be broken by then as more and more leave for other jobs, a trickle come in and the line to AA is no shorter then it is now. Hey, good luck. I just think a lot of things have to happen for Envoy for it to avoid serious trouble.
