Envoy is far from perfect, but for a new pilot to the industry (especially someone who is young and can suck it up at the regionals for a few years) it is a good option. If I was told in my mid 20's that I could be at AA in a few years if I went to envoy first, I would say sign me up. But maybe that's just me.
If I have lied or mislead anybody on here, please call me out and tell me where.
Nope, you get it. There's just a lot of sour grapes around who can't see that this next generation isn't going to be trapped like they (and to some extent we) were.
The regionals will shrink to 1/3rd their previous size as we all see currently transpiring across the industry.
AA is using flow to artificially keep from having to raise wages. That will work for a while. In any event, with current hiring trends it's a good time to be at an AAG WO; especially ENY or PDT.
