Also, if you want to work for the major you would flow into wouldn't you get there quicker if you worked at an airline without flow? Envoy will soon only get 35% then 25% of AA new hires that means 65% to 75% of new hires will not be from Envoy.
Anyone...anyone...Bueller?
That is still steady movement that gets you deeper into the higher mandatory retirement years at the majors. Look, in my 9 years at Eagle things have changed significantly. We did not have flow, now we do. We have also lost a whole lot and gained in other areas. One thing you mite see in the near future is upgrade coming way down due to senior FO's bypassing. With there retention bonus and 200% critical coverage it will make sense for those intending to hold out for flow to accrue more seniority before upgrading
