Loudest? Hardly. Negative Nancy? How about realist. Not much negativity? I'll give you it's nothing like they put us through the last two years, but closing half our bases, giving our airplanes away, and unilaterally changing RSV rules aren't exactly olive branches.
You and a couple others are spin doctors, intentionally ignoring anything that might make anyone think ENY is anything less than rainbows and unicorns. We're certainly not the worst, but this isn't heaven on earth. Evidently pilots nationwide agree with me. Few that are here want to be, and those that aren't here don't either.
The things you're complaining about, they all complain about. Pay screw ups, endless work rule violations, poor treatment. Those are common across carriers in this miserable segment of the industry.
Doesn't change the fact that a new Envoy guy today should be at AA within 6 years, while applying through the front door everywhere. It's a nice backup plan
