The flow is a 6 year projection (actually now less) and for that to be valid, the engine being represented that is under the Turbo Envoymobile's hood will need a HUGE amount of fuel to drive as fast and as far as claimed. Fuel that IMO just isn't there. I understand the desire behind the claim, I just can't connect the dots.
When/If you went to college, would you not have jumped all over an opportunity to have a guaranteed job, travel benefits, a signing bonus, and a sure shot at a good flying job at Envoy than later a legacy job at AA? Sounds like a slam dunk to me. Envoy is not perfect, but should definitely be high on the list for prospective new hires and commercial pilots
