Really??!! The company has said it is going to happen??!! Please enlighten everyone. Because the company is the reason it hasn’t happened.
I agree it is going to happen. It will have to... eventually, but no time soon. And every new hire that comes her thinking it will happen prolongs it.
Unless you are he11 bent to work for American and don’t have a degree, there are better routes to majors than Envoy and “flow”.
And I encourage everyone to get a degree in the field of your choice BEFORE you take any commercial flying job. It makes you a more rounded individual and more employable when that day comes you CAN’T fly, whether it is caused by furlough or medical or whatever. Pretty good chance of seeing a period of unemployment in the aviation business.
I wouldn’t even be surprised if some of today’s new hires lose their job one day to outsourcing and or automation. Airlines will change overnight for cost savings if they think they can make more money.
Just remember: You can lose pay, seniority, your job, your license or medical, but no one can ever take away your education.
