AA needs to hire 800-1000 a year and at least 50% of that number is provided by flow-thru. Envoy has 2100 pilots on property. Not every Envoy pilot will want to go to AA. Do that math. 3-4 years sounds about right.
For anybody under 40 that wants an airline career track, it is a much faster path to the front seat of an airliner than languishing in the right seat at NJA for who-knows-how-long Good for the youngsters, rearview mirror for old farts like me.
