. AAG/Envoy doesn't address anything head on until a full blown crisis is staring them in the face. I can see a full blown crisis hitting late this year or earlier.
To each their own. I've stuck it out for 3 years and will clear 50k with the bonus, have a 15 day off commutable line, and decent benefits. I'm not swimming in cash, but in supporting my family while padding my resume for the next level.
I'm not rushing out to a LCC because AA is my top choice and I'm giving the company the chance to make the flow work. I agree that they will need to make big changes to make it work. I disagree that they will slam the brakes on the flow in an attempt to trap guys here. That won't work, guys like me will bail.
LCC's are dropping their requirements and getting less competitive. I expect that to continue because the majors will hire LCC guys and deplete their ranks. There's plenty of other options if AAG uses the carrot instead of the stick. We'll see which way they go.
