"The lost decade" isn't just a period of no hiring at envoy. It is a general stagnation of the entire airline industry at the level above envoy.
Yes and I'm a feb 2011 doh, I'm still 1500 away. If aa doesn't stop hiring, and aa doesn't stop the flow illegally both of which they have a rich history of doing, I'm years away.
400 year the next two years starting next year
Then 300 year onward.
I'm at best 4 years away, and thAts assuming the best, which won't happen.
I've also been here over 4 years and I'm almost back in reserve as an FO. If your hired now I also have about 400 below me.
