Newbies to this industry reading these forums today are already well aware that only very senior envoy pilots will ever flow at envoy, but in order for that to happen they need fresh new sucker pilots to fill that vacuum.
Would you really have all these kids believe that Regional 121 Captain time is not at all important? If Captains are not important, who's going to fly your airplanes?
"sinking in" you say? It's not sinking in, if anything deception is being exposed.
Hey man, I feel for you guys at Envoy, daddy American has dealt you a sh*t hand and they are probably not done yet. You need newbies coming through the door so you guys that have been stuck all these years can flow out of here. But we both know that the new guys are not part of the group that was guaranteed a flow. New guys will only serve the purpose of maintaining the airline during your downsizing as you shrink to 1/2 the size you are today.
Your lack of basic knowledge is simply astounding. We don't have to be captains to flow. Our whole list could flow 3 times over before you're even scheduled for an interview.
You sound like a newbie yourself.
