The funny thing is, the anti-envoy clan keeps claiming the "salesman" are convinced the flow is iron-clad and that it can't be violated. Nobody has EVER said that. Contracts can and will be violated all the time. What we're saying is that it doesn't behoove AAG management to do a complete 180 of their recruitment plans. My opinion (as a current employee who is more familiar with day-to-day operations then you, SayAlt, and eaglefly is) is that both envoy management and AAG will do whatever it takes to keep the flow moving along as advertised. They're doing it as we speak and we can agree to disagree at the extent to which it is working.
While the new-hire pool is certainly dwindling, it's not empty. The reality is that all airlines are competing for the same group of pilots, which is the exact reason why pilots such as SayAlt talk bad about envoy. It's a cowardly move, as I could care less about Skywest. I hardly know anything about them so I'm not going to bombard their forum with lies, scare tactics, etc.
As for former employees such as yourself and eaglefly, the only reason why I could imagine that you're essentially guaranteeing the flow won't work as advertised and that any current FO will be here for a long long time, is that you're jealous and angry that it's not how it worked for you. For you, you bailed and want to see a validation in your career move. Jealousy and regret is an ugly stench and it's all over you.
