AAG is a completely different company, with different philosophies, different strategies, all driven by a completely different management group. Everyone from AMR with any kind of decision making power is gone including but not limited to Dan Garton who scurried over to Republic.
Fact of the matter is that AAG has kept their promises. You used to work here, as you say, so have been out of the loop. This isn't AMR anymore.
I think your "facts" are borne of your position of view. Talk to most AA pilots and I think you'll get anything BUT what you say when discussing AAG (the "new" American Airlines) and whether they are living up to their promises, at least to the pilots. Parker promised to come in and change the culture here for the better, but most seem to agree that has yet to occur. I think it is in many ways worse, if not just as bad. Even APA who ushered him in on a flying carpet says that, i.e., that the long awaited positive culture change promised has yet to occur. One example is that they appear to be strategically dragging out contractual provisions that favor the pilots and quickly implementing ones that are beneficial to them.
IF AAG is willing to take that tack and arguably disregard the value of morale and employee good will at the core business, what can you reasonably expect from them regarding fringe entities like Envoy ?
Besides, what occurs at Envoy is largely a by-product of how Envoy management chooses to run their house and not solely the parameters and tasks assigned to them by AAG. No offense intended, but I think you are either truly naïve about what you posted here or are deliberately trying to paint a picture that doesn't exist.
