I bet at least 1/2 the Envoy pilot group tell people they meet that they fly for American Airlines.
Cracks me up.
I completely agree that saying "retrieve" is ridiculous, and his claim is totally unsubstantiated, but you are way off about the vast majority of envoy pilots. More than half of us do call ourselves American Eagle, but not AA.
For the record I don't think we can staff any more 175s, and I'd rather increase flow than grow. Most of the guys I talk to feel that way.
