I made the decision to leave after reviewing everything and coming to the conclusions I post here. If I am proven wrong or right, it doesn't matter. I live with the consequences of leaving and where I am now.

I do still stand by these predictions today. Take a look at what has happened since Skyvector posted the rosy picture in the November 2015 thread "New Envoy Information." Envoy cannot get new hires. New hires in sustained numbers of 35 per month or greater are necessary to keep the Ponzi scheme flow going.

AAG will not change until the last possible moment and the thing that will likely get candidates in the door are better pay and a better QOL. For now, Envoy offers neither in addition to only offering two bases now. Even the most ardent Envoy supporters here note that the company's treatment of the pilot group is abhorrent.

For those with their heads buried in the sand doing nothing except waiting for the flow to happen, it's not going to hurt to apply elsewhere or consider working for an LCC. Perhaps not Allegiant, but certainly Jetblue, Spirit or Virgin...if you can get in. Holding out just to work for American Airlines will likely only bring crushed expectations as the flow carrot moves a little further away each year.
