Speaking for myself, I'm not a "hater". I 100% hope that "flow" at Envoy works the way every Envoy pilot hopes it works.
But Doug Parker will always be Doug Parker, and it's his promise you are banking on. Parker WILL without question work to cause staffing problems at other regionals before he creates them for his own WOed regionals...
...which means AA will hire more street pilots in the long run than it will take from it's WOed regionals.
"Flow" is a carrot....in lieu of hard cash today...for those who have not done their homework and don't know who they are dealing with.
It is that simple.
Anyone at Envoy who is counting on flowing to AA is relying on Doug Parker to keep his word....
most especially today's new hires.
Good luck with that. I sincerely hope it works out for you. But I wouldn't bet my career on it.
That's not hate. That's simply an observation.

I beg to differ.
Anyone who justifies going to Envoy for "the flow" as a major reason/rational is most definitely believing Doug Parker will keep his word and means what he says.
That is not to say there aren't other reasons for choosing to go to Envoy (although aside from domicile I am hard pressed to know what they are given all the other available alternatives out there at present).
But what we hear over and over again from you Envoy types is "the flow! the flow! the flow!"...
...like the old TV show "Fantasy Island" with the midget Tattoo crying "The plane! The plane! The plane!"
