To add icing on the cake, the pipeline program has opened the door to THE most qualified recruits Envoy has EVER seen. And yes, that includes the "old" days of American Eagle. No longer are they hiring Virgil who spent the last 6 years flying packages around Texas in some Baron. Today's recruits are the most ready for the 121 cockpit from the first day they set foot on property. Envoy is far superior in many ways to the "old" American Eagle but IMO only, the pipeline program truly sets them apart.
Sorry Kooj, but Eagle/Envoy flow peaked years ago at almost 60% of all AA new hires, and then it was 50% of all AA new hire slots right up until the L10-11's and the 2014 TA.
Now, all three WO's combined send a whopping 35% of all AA new hires at the last tabulation pre-pandemic.
The flow is nothing compared to what it used to be.... it's more of a trickle than a flow now. That's why they have guys like you on social media trying to sell the idea of what used to be, instead of what actually is.
