That is my understanding. Parker seems really sure that he can entice regional pilots to his wholly owned by the flow, over having to increase pay. I would be surprised if he messed with it. Seems like his holy grail solution to the shortage of pilots willing to work for janitor wages. Its also a way to ensure that his most expensive pilots leave first. Don't get me wrong, I don't believe he would do it out the of kindness of his heart. I think he just sees it as a cheaper solution. Nice thing about the flow, you can still apply at Delta, United, Spirit, JetBlue, Atlas etc etc all you want. Just because you are waiting in line doesn't mean you can't take other opportunities as they come along. About half of the envoy pilots I talk to feel this way. They are not just sitting around waiting on the flow but its nice to have in the event that all else fails.
