my friend left 4 years ago for an LCC and then went to United, if he stayed here he would still be looking at another two years for flow to aa. But because he did not bite on the flow lollypop as most are he is 3 years at United and by the time the guy next to him on the seniority list at envoy flows my friend will have 6 years seniority at Untied.
Everyone can get to a mainline without a flow. Flow is just another way AAG gets you to work for less than everyone else.
I believe the majority of pilots on property think that after the 824 is gone, all bets are off for the rest of us to flow. I'm around 100 short of 824 and I'm very concerned what will happen afterwards. I'm putting my apps out at the big three plus SW. Whoever calls first I'm gone. I would love to stay and achieve my dream of going to AA but the way the contract is always reinterpreted and ALPA pretty much looses every grievance (0400 RAP a major one for me.) I've accepted that I must do what's best for my family. They come first.
