The negative impact of this on the Envoy pilot group would be next to nothing but would be an nice backup for the unexpected. I would say there would have to be restrictions on it, like it cant be due to HR issues, personality conflicts etc.
If AA would terminate you for that, it definitely shows it is finally on an even playing field with Envoy. I guess it goes along with AA's plummeting product offerings and nasty customer service. They want to have a standard product across their regionals to match with mainline.
Best bet is to get hired elsewhere if at all possible, UA, DL, SW, etc.
