And finally, this as with most other things in life has a specific target. A demographic if you will. That target demographic is First Officers. Yes, we get it. You are an uber rich Captain who would never grace anybody with his presence. This isn't for you, ace.
The more you post the more clear it becomes you have some chip on your shoulder in regards to Eagle/AA...you should get together with eaglefly. On the other hand, if you pull your head out of your rear for two seconds you would realize how this works and what the idea is. It would remove the golden handcuffs that all airline pilots are subjected to. If Envoy sets this in motion there is a good chance that other airlines would follow. Maybe not overnight, but soon enough.
Oh, and what's the deal with all these demands you have for coming over? Nobody is asking you to come to Envoy! These Donald Trump moments of yours are priceless:

I have no chip on my shoulder about American (I'd rather go there more than Delta or United) Just that this isn't doing much if it's asking me to give up seniority and be a bottom FO on reserve and not actually match what I am paid now. All but bottom FO's that have been stuck at a stagnant place are not getting anything unless they live in DFW or ORD and currently have to commute. I don't see this really undermining the industry, but I also don't see it creating a flood of applications either.
