just doing the math

If anyone is to come on as a new hire HVA, seems rather unattractive to have to sit and wait wile 1,000 +/- FOs upgrade on top of you - even if every base got a reasonably similar number of upgrades (which they wont) thats still 300 pilots upgrading on top of any HVA direct entry captain hired today.

even with an AA Flow number. and $45,000 bonus, that seems like a crap deal

you'd sit ready for 6 months, RAP for probably another 6-12 months. even if you did manage to bid to the base you wanted, you would be under the constant threat of being displaced back to where-the-hell-ever, eventually you'd hold a line... but it would be the most bottom of the barrel line for pretty much the next half of your time at Envoy

one has to look past the trees if they are going to see the forest.

I imagine there arent a lot of prior 121 guys out there who want four stripes that badly
Outside of the flow, attrition to other airlines is extremely low for now. We’ll see what happens in the coming years. Your understanding of how the HVA deal would play out is correct. With the exception of some recruiting/management types, there isn’t anyone on here that’s going to convince you that it’s a great deal.
