The things they are doing like this are really not philosophical changes about how pilots are viewed by management there IMO, they are developments that are designed to meet business needs and likely temporary. As such, while it does have potential to have ancillary benefit to some pilots, it isn't flushing that turd away to truly change the perception of the toilet in question by those who encounter it.

If Envoy is indeed at some form of significant disadvantage as it appears to be, that even the existence of a flow-thru cannot change, it would indeed appear to be that Envoy is in real trouble in the future as it's a reputation issue. That can only be corrected one way and it would need to be aggressive. As each month goes on and the other regionals without flows are running perhaps a couple of hundred pilots into their classes combined and Envoy gets a handful, if that, the well dries that much quicker and the pool shrinks significantly.

It's very possible that ultimately, it may be too little, too late and this time the game of "kick the can" has broken the foot of the can-kicker and although he can still stagger and hop forward, he'll eventually flop over or seek treatment.
