You guys also are totally detached from the fact, that some new hires are enjoying this job, and Envoy is a great fit for them.
This "Envoy's contract with AAG that involves last pick of the scraps" is another fake news "fact" people repeat here. I can't help you if you believe that AAG just posts a bunch of flights available for grabs, and regionals pick them up in some preassigned order, like a pro sports draft.
I'm sure Vasu etc keep saying "oh crap, Skywest took that route, now we can only sell 70 seats on that route".
Is that why we got a good bunch of the super productive daytrip lines for June? Some of them from Mesa. I'm sure the senior guys who can hold them aren't complaining about 18-19 days off and 90+ hours of credit, and home every night.
They are also great picks off P2P (plenty of them available). Not bad to go to work for a turn and credit close to 7-8 hours.
Well regionals work by cost and on-time performance...Skywest has one of the cheapest costs for AA, thus they go first...kinda like a draft but the cheapest go first not the mvp most expensive best player lol...there wholly owned are just that owned...thus they dont bid or place an offer like a third party airline...if you think wholly owned gets first pick you are out of your mind...its all money and envoy operations are more expensive...note skywest pays for envoy rampers and agents etc.
