The AA retirement numbers alone drive our flow and upgrades; we aren't growth dependant like many other places. Based on retirement numbers alone our whole list should flow over within 6 years. So, street hire now to AA at 6 years. Not a bad back up plan. If AA is on your career radar then coming through one of it's regionals may soon be the easiest way for anybody who isn't a rocket scientist or related to the Pope.
Announced a "change in direction" for the company ? I must have missed that. All I've seen so far is a letter from Wilson describing some hypothetical projections in upgrade time and flow through, NONE of which can be quantified and ALL of which require a 50 pilot-per month hiring schedule to be met each and every month for the forseeable future. You're spinning this like an airline executive with an agenda and parroting the same beliefs ad nauseum won't increase the odds of Wilson claims become more true.

Hotel before/after trip sequences, or before/after blocks fo RSV days up to 4 times per month.

Hotels in base for any pilot who was scheduled a hotel elsewhere that night, and ends up cancelled or misconnected in domicile... and this applies to RSV's on trips as well.

Hotels in base before/after critical coverage OT

Hotels in DFW for short term training even if DFW based

Full paid parking wherever you commute in from, and full paid for those parking in base.

SIDA badges for your base

Global Access customs program through US DHS & ICE (fully reimbursed & good for 5 years)

all OT is 150% and all critical coverage OT is 200% and FO's get 4 hour minimim


some Little things that make life easier that not all regionals have....

All planes ACARS equiped

Full Electronic Weight and Balance Program - EWBS (very similar to AA's)

Full paperless cockpit program under way to replace everything including release and logbooks with ipad replacements. (I hear the other WO's will be piggybacking on our work in this area)

Full DECS/RES access
Jetaway app
Crew Check-In app
Mobile FOS-Sabre app

It's a good time to be an Envoy pilot.
How many times are you going to parrot THIS ?

You've said this perhaps half a dozen times if not more already. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy clicked here heels to get back home, but this cyber-version of the same thing isn't going to improve the odds for any new-hires to get to AA. Reality and fantasy aren't the same thing and so far all your cyber heel-clicking is fantasy.
