New hire at Envoy today... let's say you flow in 8 years, that means AA will have 8000+ people on the seniority list above you that aren't on that list today. And mainline AA pilots aren't exactly the happiest group of people walking around the terminal.
Not really, no. I enjoy The Envoy.
The flow train is rolling really well right now, especially with outside attrition. But I'm also old enough to remember 2008 and 9/11, and that can stop that train on its tracks.
Without a black swan event, 6 years is pretty realistic. With one, who the heck knows.
The flow is a good backup, but like I said, do what you can to beat it. Ideally you want to be hired at AA before 2025. After that, you'll be on the wrong side of the wave.
