Southwest and Skywest.
Tell us all how AA flow works when you're furloughed?
(Disclaimer: I don't work for either one)
I cannot see how any pilot at any regional airline would become unemployed for long. Regarding any regionals that fail (and there will be some), their pilots will find regional airline employment immediately, especially with RJ experience. I think Envoy is one of the least likely to fail. It may shrink and eventually consolidate, but not fail or furlough. In the worst case scenario, I don't think AA would furlough. Cease hiring for X period of time perhaps, which would stop the flow in that situation in addition to stagnation among AA pilots. It all depends on where you are when the music stops which has happened repeatedly in the past.
