Net loss of aircraft would be great for everyone at Envoy. If we become overstaffed, we flow more pilots to AA (50% of the class at AA, no longer capped at 25/month). Everyone still moves up in seniority and gets to AA quicker because the company could no longer meter the flow.
However, this scenario is a pipe dream. In this hiring environment, AA will find flying for Envoy if it has the pilots. AA owns birds that several contract regionals are flying, 140's parked in the desert, and options on 175's. Unfortunately, we will never have a lack of planes to fly at Envoy.
