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.
Nah, but I'm guessing Envoy will probably continue parking 145s in 2017 and beyond, not all of them of course, just the oldest ones that were received in '98, '99. United just announced that they will park over 50% of their 50 seaters by 2019, I'm guessing this will apply to AAG as well (or not). The 50 seaters will slowly drift away, at Envoy, PSA and others.
