Neither are supported by any foundation though as both require a fuel that doesn't exist, that being a large influx of street new-hires. Throughout the late 90's for about 10 years until about 2009 or so, Eagle (now Envoy) promised then new-hires they would be at AA in X years and most of those pilots are still at Envoy or at least did NOT flow to AA. Some of those who are here now selling the present promise fell for that one and also are still at Envoy and not surprisingly desperately want out. I suppose if they were to believe the fairy tale told to THEM to get them to Envoy, it would make sense they not only would believe another fairy tale, they would willingly sell it. I understand MANY Envoy pilots aren't buying this schtick, but apparently here on this and other forums, a vocal and concentrated minority have begun a jihad into the sales dept.

My advice is to be an informed and skeptical consumer, especially when dealing with pushy salesman.
