I believe the flow is a gimmick and can't figure out how they are able to sell it at 6 years when people flowing are from 11 years ago.
Why do you care? You are at Endeavor now. I was hired at Envoy in December 2016 with 947 hours in piston aircraft. They told me projected flow for me “not the current flow” was between 5.5 to 6 years. As it stands, according to ALPA projections, which ignore attrition, I am projected to flow in about 5.3 years. No, not everyone who was hired before or after is in the same boat, but please shut up with the “you will be at the major of your choice” without the flow. As an FO I’m flying 600-700 hours a year. By the time I flow I will have around 4000 hours total time at most. With maybe 1500 PIC turbine and 3000 121 time. What are you folks smoking saying that I will be at the major of my choice with that? Really? I think Endeavor guy is second guessing the fact that the lowly Envoy flow like myself will be at American way before either of us could have been anywhere close to competitive at a major otherwise. We will see who made the right choice soon enough. You made your choice now move on.
