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.
Is PSA not flowing people? No arbitrated agreement, and they are taking delivery of AAG's new heavy RJ's. I have even heard PSA has had a tough time staffing CA's at times. Eagle did not have flow when I was hired in 2007. We have not had flow for 20 years, it was stopped after the flow backs. It resumed again with the arbitrators ruling in conjunction with AA new hire classes . 911/ and age 65 are what caused stagnation. It is a different time with different circumstances. If AAG does not honor its flow, it's regional infrastructure will crumble. A lot of time and money has been wasted to get to where we are today. Outside of a catastrophic event, you can count on the flow working
