No you are not. It's really a card trick. IMO, this has NOTHING to do about rewarding pilots per se or philosophy shift in labor relations. It is simply a Band-Aid proposed and requested to kick the can to a further point where it will require less or possibly nothing at all in the true change dept. for the pilot group as a whole. In the Fall or later, a number of scenarios including carrier consolidation (or schedule changes with aircraft transfer or parking) could instantly put Envoy hundreds of pilots fat even with attrition and thus no need to talk about anything and when CBA modifications might be under a different atmosphere. One party is still controlling another and that's how it's always been, the only difference now is that the many there have not or are not aware of the past and so they repeat it.

In fact, just say........late last year, many were jumping up and down claiming just how AAG/Envoy was living up to their promises, "things are different this time" and optimism abounded. Then, when that didn't occur (like so many times in the past), they sank into depression in the last month or two crying to the heavens. Now, the SAME hand is played that has been played so many times and what happens ?

Boom !.........another meteoric emotional rebound of irrational exuberance. Up, down, up, down, many Envoy pilots go like a yo-yo, completely oblivious to what is happening and why. What you're seeing is simply a re-run, nothing more, nothing less, but with each climb of the yo-yo, they forget the past and everything and think it is some final positive change and they've once again (for the umpteenth time) have "turned the corner". It truly is quite a schizophrenic existence and IMO, that is why there is so much of what you see from some of them on this forum. It eventually does screw with the mind of some who get to a point they cannot see reality any longer who live in (and even embrace Stockholm style) the warped relationship. IMO, this is what guys like Glass specialize in, that being controlling the minds of your adversary, much like the philosophies of Sun-Tzu.
