I have read a bunch of posts about "flow violations" and things like that, but since I don't work at Envoy, I don't know what is true. Is there any truth behind the flow violation claims?
Also, on Envoy's APC profile it says, "At this point in time, new hires should expect to flow in 9 years and increasing". Is this true? Would it really take nearly 10 years to flow to AA?
Thanks in advance for any insight you might have.
So here is the deal. If EVERYONE on property minus the current lifers took the flow AND AA hires every month then your flow will be 10ish years. Neither are likely to happen so the "projected" flow times are completely crap. The statement, "The flow is working as projected." means absolutely nothing. Whose projections? Is it contractual? We projected to flow in October and December but we didn't. Oppps. Honestly you will likely in my best guess flow in under 7 years. And that's a huge guess. I think attrition will have a huge impact on those numbers.
The union has a grievance on flow violations. It's goal is to restore contractual flow and retroactively change AA seniority for harmed pilots.
