If your "Dream Job" is slinging gear for AA then get on the party bus at Envoy and ride it for 12 years or more. And, maybe in 20 years from today you'll upgrade into a 319 and that's if that flow is still working for you. Good luck.
You must get your math from ag386. It will not take an envoy pilot hired today 10 years to flow. The last time the union ran the numbers, it was a 4.5 year upgrade and 6 year flow. With all the new aircraft coming back, that upgrade time will be even lower. Many things can happen in the next few years, but to suggest that an envoy pilot will take 10 years to flow is as preposterous as the 2.5 year upgrade claim.
