In a consolidation scenario, if a pilot wants to flow to AA or have that as their back-up, ANY of the three WO's will for future purposes (more then 5 years out) will IMO likely be based on your DOH at any of the present carriers and so one is no worse then the other. IF that is then going to be a constant in this future equation, the question then is, which carrier can get you into the left seat ASAP to boost other options while you wait ?

In a non-consolidation scenario, once Envoy's 824 are gone, the other WO's will have caught up in size and mission to Envoy and Envoy will have contracted to much closer size and mission to them making 3 near-equal WO's. Again, in that case, the flow will likely be modified to provide each WO with equal flow access so as to ensure AAG isn't shooting itself in the foot by weakening on the legs in its three-legged regional feed network.
