PSA didn't make Envoy vote NO to that contract and in so far as that goes Envoy has nobody to blame but themselves.
We have sent more than 50% of new hire classes to AA the past several months. If we had a huge hard number fleet plan; do you think we'd have sent 66% instead of 50% recently? No, we'd ALWAYS get only the minimum.
