There is no way that they could keep check airmen and senior captains. It is simply unsustainable. Break out that calculator and try that one.
Nice assumptions there. The problem for you is that I'm dealing in actual numbers and actual contractual information.
You are speculating/hoping that AA reverses their entire long-term plan for Envoy and dismantles everything they have been building just to make yourself feel better.
Sorry to tell you...this pain you are feeling will get worse before it gets better. Just wait until very soon when most of your Junior PSA pilots begin jumping ship over to Envoy. Don't think it will happen? Think you are immune? Think you are smarter than the managers of this multi-billion dollar company known as American Airlines?
Ok then. The next 18 months will be a nice learning lesson for you.
*Oh, and nothing in our contract-including our flow-can just "be gone overnight". See, that's the problem with contracts. They are binding. And if not, there is an arbitration process and the company has to make up for it. That is how the original Eagle got the original flow to AA before flow was ever a thing. You still have much to learn, little man. Good luck over at PSA.
