Perhaps, but Envoy has hundreds of $120,000/year captains and you can be SURE that will indeed be corrected within 12-18 months. Either take the flow in the "new" carrier or accept 12th year scale. Of course, the third option is to hit the bricks.

Parker isn't going to leave good money on the table that is a complete waste when it can easily be recouped. Envoy ALPA will take the lessor of two evils, but first Envoy ALPA will be reshaped with a new leadership when the present one goes to AA. Got to get them there within the timeline and so the flow for the 824 will move on at a good clip barring the unforeseen. Since Envoy will never get that many pilots there, it will contract and upgrades will continue at a "trickle" as one union rep said.
