I understand what you're saying about Envoy flowing when they don't have to, but in order for the 6 year claim to be valid, it has to be compared against something. That's all I was doing. I've heard a lower number of non-flowing senior pilots, something like 250-300 and indeed some pilots will leave Envoy before flowing, so yes a lessor number per month required to flow to meet such a projection is likely occur, but also things could occur that stops the flow entirely or slows it substantially in the future as well. Has that situation happened yet ?
In fact, it has. Envoy was slated to flow something like 350 this year, but it will be substantially less and the fact they have chosen to flow some to the US Airways side when they didn't have to doesn't change that. The future holds no promises.
Nobody has said anything about promises of 6 year flow, only projections. The only ones who say there are promises are those who say others say it! If something occurs that stops the flow entirely, I would put it on more of a world event or economic crisis...in which case I would want to be staying put anyway, rather then being at the bottom of a new seniority list. Additionally, a situation like that would affect the entire industry, not just flow through's.
