They mock for good reason. This flow carrot has been dangled in front of eagle guys for almost 20 years. Last week I had lunch with a friend that was hired at Eagle in 1999 and he was told then that he would flow to AA in 2 years. When I was hired at Eagle in 2010 I was told I would flow to AA in 2 years. The only reason there is a flow now is because of an arbitrators ruling. The settlement was 824 will flow to AA as a grievance settlement. Right now they're about half way through the 824. PSA flows are outside of a ruling. So far Envoy has not flowed a single pilot because of a labor agreement. If Envoy can't hire enough to replace attrition do you honestly think Parker will park brand new EJets to honor a flow in a labor agreement? Not for a minute.
I will believe a flow when I see it. Right now it seems that history is just repeating itself and still finding suckers.
