Listen, I'm at AA but I'm just like you. We are both AA pilots. Your number just hasn't come up yet but it will and sooner than you think. American has mass retirements and they are early retiring over 1200. Pilots are going to be NEEDED. I'm not a hypocrite like some who flow and pull up the ladder. I considered myself AA at Envoy and I still point out wholeheartedly that you are as well.
The early retirements will be offset by all of the early retirements of the aircraft. All three majors have come out and said they will have smaller fleets after this so that too will slow down the need for flow. I dont think any of us still at Envoy will be seeing the front of an AA aircraft anytime soon. If I had to guess, this pandemic has added at least two years to everyones flow time, if not more.
