Cujo665 you know its not going to be a 20 yr wait to go to AA through PSA just like we know its not going to be a 2.5 year upgrade (you said it yourself its going to be more than 3.5 yrs) at Envoy so stop with the obvioulsy hyprocritical posts. You know PSA is going to get a flow and its not going to be 20 yrs, you also know that Envoy will not always get 50% of the AA new hire spots forever as the percentage decreases over time. Stop posting half truths.
You know in a few years the only way to AA will be through the wholly owned carriers and every path will be about 4-6 years.
You also know that Envoy needs to start getting a lot more new hires per month for the math to work out, 10 new guys a month does not replace attrition and bring upgrades down.
XJT has the best commuter policies in the regional industry even without giving out hotels, not Envoy.
