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.
You where told you were going to flow in 2 years in 2010??? Jummmm I don't know why are you saying that, because the protected pilot settlement was in mid 2011. And a 2010 hire is not part of the 824...
2. I'm a 2010 new hire and the only thing they told me was to expect to upgrade in about 3-4 years. Which, if we have kept the same amount of planes it was going to happen. I'm in the low 1400 and the JR CA in 2011 was about seniority 1750-1850.
So...I call BS on this one. A 2010 hire should upgrade sometime this year and we should flow in about 4 years at the worst case. (Unless they stop the flow of course)
