Unfortunately, I think all that announcement really solidifies is the confirmation that one of Envoy's chief present missions is simply to be the pinch-hitter for other WO's until they get up to speed better and thus will continue in that role. Long-term, this reality doesn't seem to do much for Envoy pilots and does that give MORE or LESS confidence to present and future Envoy pilots about Envoy ?
Although temporarily it might seem good, the job of helping other carriers to become stronger at your expense doesn't seem something to be positive about IMO. I suppose it depends on whether one considers short-term gratification or long-term stability a more important factor is deciding what is positive or not.
