Envoy ground crews seem to be the other half of the disastrous equation though. At the request of the CA, I went to grab the release and had to talk to three different gate agents to get it. Nobody seemed to know which computer to use or which printer it was sending it to. Passengers all boarded and ready to go but nobody could figure out how to get the paperwork in a timely manner.

Luckily for us AA doesn't give a rats ass about performance or passenger satisfaction, so unless we get really expensive I don't see any of this being a problem.
Yeah Envoy ground sucks!! They do better with us because thenpilots and MX carry them. The gate agents and rampers are trained in less than a day and shoved in front of an airplane/passengers with little to no help.

It's about to get ALOT worse. Every year once the weather breaks 90, as it did this week, rampers start dropping like flies.
