Is there anything that protects you guys already on property in the event they decide to stop the flow?
I’m a couple of months away from upgrade, living in base, weighing my options.
Unfortunately no. By the time you would potentially flow, Envoy Air Inc. will have a new pilot contract that may not even include flow at all. The sad truth is that even the “protected” pilot group hasn’t even been fully protected. Grievances over a reduced rate of flow have all ready been settled on their behalf due to the companies “interpretation” of the flow LOA. Pilots in the group after them, like me, the “unprotecte,” are subject to those same company interpretations. Thus one can guess that the contractual minimum, as the company sees it, will be the status quo moving forward. In addition, unprotected pilots are subject to having their flow withheld by the company for disciplinary reasons. Lastly, flow is not guaranteed for anyone if American is not hiring. Bottom line, nothing is guaranteed in this industry, especially flow. But for me, it will be worth the risk for myself and lot of folks who do end up making it to a major sooner than they might have.
