Both of these video's presenters state half of future AA pilots will come from their wholly-owned carriers (plural), whereas Envoy's ad says Envoy pilots alone will not only capture half the slots, but more critically half of EVERY new-hire class. Those two claims are significantly different. The only error I see in representation in these videos is the statement that the Envoy fleet is "growing" leading to fast upgrades. It's my understanding that Envoy management is representing a "stable" fleet that they don't expect to shrink, at least in the near future, so there does appear to be some creative representation in that respect as upgrades there will most likely remain tepid because it's unlikely Envoy will be able to bring enough pilots in over the next year or two to remain its current size.
