Nope, never said that.
I also never said that people wouldn't leave a 121 for a DEC opportunity. I said it wasn't appealing to someone at a carrier with a competitive upgrade time meaning 1000-1500 hrs. If someone is at an airline where upgrades are 3 years or further out, sure they are going to jump, or if making the jump significantly increases their quality of life.
I just said that Envoy wasn't a better option. just to do the same thing all because of 8 year flow, and I scoffed at the concept of considering them on par with a LCC.
Piedmont makes makes more sense, short commute down to PHL and there they are flowing twice as fast as Envoy.
