Also want to add that I completely disagree with it being a night and day difference between AA and Envoy work environments. Every captain I knew who flowed said yes the training is better, less stressful but the AAG bs still runs rancid. Ain't much better over there.
Every Captain you knew who flowed? You must've known quite a few really bitter captains, because nearly every pilot who's flowed over can tell you that the differnce between the two companies, in terms of how we are treated on a daily basis by Crew Scheduling, Crew Tracking, and the Chief Pilot's offices is night and day different than it was on the Eagle side. Conversations with Crew Scheduling are pleasant and not confrontational. If you call out fatigued or sick, you don't get any attitude over the phone, you simply get an "OK". When something is needed from the Chief pilot's office, the staff is pleasant, and the Chief's themselves are even more so. The comparisons can go on and on.
Yes, there have been a few guys that have come over and have carried their chip on their shoulder right into the AA cockpits, and the captains who have had the displeasure of being paired with them have told me it makes for a miserable trip. But those guys are the exception, not the rule.
It's MUCH better on the AA side.
