If AAG consolidates some or all of its wholly-owned's, it gets worse and you'll have thousands of pilots ahead of you for AA and combined with almost certainly a slower monthly metric, that's a long wait.
IMO, the guys SELLING this now all have self-serving motives. They don't give a rats patoot about any newbie, they want Envoy to be as robust as possible just long enough to get their own tickets punched to AA, that's all.
A lot of Envoy Pinocchio's running around there (and here) these days.
Caveat Emptor.
Caveat Emptor goes without saying. Question: It appears that flow is the recruitment tool of choice for ENY and PDT. New hires are becoming few and far between right now, and this problem will only get worse. What you are suggesting above is that the flow will at some point after the 824 grind to a halt or at least slow to a trickle. This would damage recruiting efforts in an extremely scarce market for pilots. In your opinion, how will AAG staff their regional feed properly with their number one recruiting tool creaking along?
