In 5 years (with quick and decisive ACTION BY THE industry) maybe, but until then, perhaps half the present cadre would be in the "loser" camp in a full blown pilot poaching war, but more likely once Envoy were to start this, surely others would act, especially Delta and United and ultimately, it might even hasten or ensure Envoy's demise as their hail mary pass was knocked away. It just MAY be the one unintended byproduct of such a scheme and that too is among the risks to be weighed.
That is simply ANOTHER reason why I think anyone going to Envoy now is taking a risk. Envoy IMO, remains far too unstable itself and as I refer to them as a "house of cards", their future seems all bent on timing, promises and prayers.
That's not a sound place to be IMO. for future success. Caveat Emptor.
You sound like my ex-wife! She would never shut up and was always complaining.
With that said, this is the only industry where your pay does not transfer when you move jobs. The one thing that I hate about this industry is that if Neil Armstrong got hired on by Envoy he would have to get payed 20K per year. Am I the only one who thinks that is crazy? Companies offering incentives to come work for them is a good thing. I don't see any down side to this?
