Folks are flowing in their 5th year at the company, currently flowing 5/month and the flow increases with every 125 pilots on the seniority list projections are expected to stay around the 5 year mark (perhaps lower depending on timing and outside attrition).
Envoys currently flow is @ 12.5 years but projected to be 6-8 for new hires.
Piedmont has no reserve. Training backups are decreasing.
Both are good companies with flows to AA. The money will be very similar in each seat position (within 10% unless you’re picking up PDTs 300% critical pay). Ultimately it’s going to boil down to which company you feel has the best personality and fit for you.
I work for Envoy and the way you describe it is perfect. I think this one of the best reviews between airlines I have ever read on this forum.
