But contractually they are doing nothing wrong. For much of 2015 100% of AA classes were Envoy flows. So it's not like they are trying to pick on anyone..but if playing victim makes you feel better then by all means...
You cant be a pilot for envoy...... nobody who could potentially be placed that far behind schedule would see it the way you see. At best it is a grey area they are exploiting. Career earning potential goes down from being stuck at envoy an extra 2 months let alone what this has the potential of becoming to a new hire, who was promised a 5 year flow.
For a company who preaches the flow as the only thing needed to recruit new hires, I'd say they have greatly damaged their recruiting efforts based on this one month too. Keeping 5 here could mean losing 20 new hires, if they were on the fence about the flow.
