This year about 70% of all new hires at AA came from Envoy. They have had one (1) street hire on the AA side since March of this year. Everything else has been recalls and flows.
That is currently true. I'm sure that it has mostly been to get rid of those expensive pesky senior captains rather than out of the kindness of AAG management. What happens after the 824 and captains are much less senior as well as capped at 12 year pay? I bet the percentage begins a downward trend as the 824 comes to an end.
