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.
Why do you feel the need to come on here and blather on about how great things are? I dont know, maybe because this is a forum and open for discussion, regardless if we all agree or not. The pilots coming today are not that experienced, they are nothing more than glorified flight instructors with a bachelors degree. How does that make them more competent than someone that has been flying in an operational setting, dealing with weather, maintenance, schedules, deadlines and all the other things hauling packages around Texas entails? I am not knocking the pipeline pilots, just not giving them a free pass to excellence like you are.
It has become a trope around here, you post some complete over the top nonsense and myself, Cujo and some others discredit it. If you dont like it, stop posting your nonsense. I will admit that when I started I wanted to work for AA, but that has long since changed. I am now waiting for training centers to reopen and other airlines to start hiring again, that or my non-aviation opportunity to come up.
